lyrics

Smoke rises and the sound escapes
The whispered breathe of a desperate man
A pair of aces up his sleeve but his stack his short
And the time is running out

The sun is restless with 5 cards to play
And the day is coming fast
So with a glance he calls the cowboys bet
And the dealer reveals the first three cards

Kings over 9 and his eyes are wide
The older gent checks, as does the desperate man
Got a pair of aces but waves his hand
No bet calls the dealer and turns 4th street

It's the Queen of hearts and she looks so pretty
But not to the desperate man

The cowboy turned a strait with lady luck
9-10-Jack-Queen-King
"All in" says the cowboy as he grins behind a whiskey
And stares at the desperate man who looks to the crowd

And searches for his soul he lost in a game a long time ago

The river is deep and can drown a desperate man
with nothing but regret but he calls "ALL IN"
Empty promises, broken hearts and a trail of loss
He has hope that just one more time, just one more win

With one card left to play

The cowboy stands up and shows his 10-Jack
A strait to the King and the desperate man nods
Aces over Kings with one card to play
He turns his eyes to the crowd

Searching for his soul.
Searching for his soul
As the dealer slowly reveals his last card
