Twenty bucks in, lay your hand down Waiting for the queen and coming unwound Covered both sides, pistol and cash Lost a gold ring in the cigarette ash Giving up two for getting one back Shuffle up a deal from a poor man's pack Single-Eye Sam watching you sweat You aint gonna win if you aint won yet Never wonder where the money all went Only got better with the bigger you spent Never wonder how the river still flows But everyone knows where the water goes Beggars comin' by in a Mexican Wave Chosen ones all got a soul to save Kids sleeping on a hardwood floor Catch a thief running from a TV store 45 channels of late-night news A tailor-made suit with Italian shoes First-time killer with a blood-red hand Walked away whistling to a Dixie band Take a bag of gold and turn it into dirt Keep your eyes down and you won't get hurt Twenty bucks in, one more round That dirty old queen's gonna let you down Never wonder where the money all went Only got better with the bigger you spent Never wonder how the river still flows But everyone knows where the water goes You gotta wonder how that river still flows When everybody knows where the water goes
