Corb Lund - All I Wanna Do Is Play Cards lyrics

Well, I guess I really oughta' be makin' up songs but all I wanna do is play cards I know it's dumb and sick and wrong but all I wanna do is play cards Got the studio booked in Tennessee And my record producer's callin' me The tape will roll in just three weeks and all I wanna do is play cards They wanna book the band for a rodeo dance and all I wanna do is play cards The contract claims they got five grand but all I wanna do is play cards My agent says we oughta take the show But tell you the truth I don't wanna go Cuz there's this real good game of split hi-lo and all I wanna do is play cards Crib and guts and stook and gin and stud and cowboy pitch Blackjack, eight or better, hold em and draw, chase the b**h Acey deucy, never loosey, hearts and black mariah Smear and low Chicago, man, the stakes keep gettin' higher I could skate for free in the hockey league but all I wanna do is play cards Tattooed young dark haired girls call me and all I wanna do is play cards There's famous people'd like to write with me And the beer at the black dog's usually free The whole damn world's an oyster to me and all I wanna do is play cards We're on the radio in el paso and all I wanna do is play cards. Finally got a little bit of press in t.o. and all I wanna do is play cards They're buying the records out in amsterdam There's rock tours booked in far off lands But I'm feelin kinda gambley and all I wanna do is play cards Crib and guts and stook and gin and stud and racehorse pitch Blackjack, eight or better, hold em and draw, chase the b**h Acey deucy, never loosey, hearts and black mariah Smear and low chicago, man, the stakes keep gettin higher I don't see much of my friends these days cuz all I wanna do is play cards Except whitey and gravy, they like a game and all I wanna do is play cards My neighbor Brent says I got a problem But he don't know cuz nobody taught him To bet the best when you know you got 'em and all I wanna do is play cards Crib and guts and stook and gin and stud and cowboy pitch Blackjack, eight or better, hold em and draw, chase the b**h Acey deucy, never loosey, hearts and black mariah Smear and low Chicago, man, the stakes keep gettin' higher Contract bridge and spades and whist and kings and little ones Canasta, hearts and spite and malice, kings make little ones who*es and fours and one-eyed bores, house rules that ain't acknowledged And them games you learned at vet school And at agricultural college Chinese rummy, greek manila, Omaha, dutch chase Start em when they're young with fish and war and crazy eights Twenty one and thirty one and seven twenty seven Well if I don't play for money, hon, will I still get to heaven Three card brag and three card monte, razz and deuce to seven Melding sets and red dog bets and counting cards with Kevin Between the sheets and screw your neighbor, let it ride, strip poker
