Texas Holds 'Em Close
Ever since I can remember
I was never good at cards
There's too many tricks up people sleeves
They take all my money before I can leave
No one likes to keep it clean
No one's eyes say what they mean
Stumbled into the room where I sat down
That rounded table
Those stubbled frowns
My hands were shaking like a dog
Left to wander through snow and fog
I held the cards up to my nose
Deals Ace-high, then down it goes
All were matching in their suits
A family's Christmas photo-shoot
It's just so hard to keep it straight
When five white cards, they hold your fate
As good as it was, my feet got cold
I had the perfect hand, but I had to fold
Yeah you were the perfect hand, but I pushed myself to fold
Since then I've had such steady hands, but my feet, they still get cold.
