Lyrics

Some people say Jesus, that's the ace in the hole
 But I never met the man so I don't really know
 Maybe some Christmas, if I'm sick and alone
 He will look up my number
 Call me on the phone, and say
 "Hey, boy, where you been so long?
 Don't you know me?
 I'm your ace in the hole"
 ♪
 Two hundred dollars, that's my ace in the hole
 When I'm down, dirty and desperate
 That's my emergency bankroll
 I got two hundred dollars, that's the price on the street
 If you wanna get some quality
 That's the price you got to meet
 And the man says
 "Hey, Junior, where you been so long?"
 Don't you know me?
 I'm your ace in the hole"
 Talkin' about ace in the hole
 Once I was crazy and my ace in the hole
 Was that I knew that I was crazy
 So I never lost my self-control
 I just walk in the middle of the road and
 I sleep in the middle of the bed
 I stop in the middle of a sentence
 And the voice in the middle of my head said
 Hey, Junior, where you been so long
 Don't you know me
 I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah)
 Ace in the hole
 Lean on me
 Don't you know me?
 I'm your guarantee
 ♪
 Riding on this rolling bus
 Beneath a stony sky
 With a slow moon rising
 And the smokestacks drifting by
 In the hour when the heart is weakest
 And the memory is strong
 When time has stopped
 And the bus just rolls along
 Roll on, roll on
 Roll on, roll on
 Roll on, roll on
 ♪
 Some people say music, that's their ace in the hole
 Just your ordinary rhythm and blues
 Your basic rock and roll
 You can sit on the top of the beat
 You can lean on the side of the beat
 You can hang from the bottom of the beat
 But you got to admit that the music is sweet
 Where you been so long
 Don't you know me?
 I'm your ace in the hole
 Ace in the hole
 Lean on me
 Don't you know me
 I'm your guarantee

 Hey, Junior. I'm your ace in the hole
 Hey. Junior, I'm your ace in the hole
 Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole
 Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole
