You can keep on pushing But I know you're never gonna fight You better keep on looking 'Cause it's written down in black and white Seven come eleven, you're rolling snake eyes Every time you roll the dice There's some good old blood I'd help if I could But don't you know my hands are tied You got your back to the wall Should you raise or call? I wouldn't take that chance You got the dead man's hand The light in the tunnel Is gonna be a rumbling train Loaded full of trouble The next stop has got your name You got a one-way ticket on a dead end track You take it on down the line Before you knew what hit ya You were flat on your back But you thought that you were doing alright You got your back to the wall Should you raise or call? I wouldn't take that chance You got the dead man's hand You stay on top to get a roll You never stop till you lose it all Yeah, you were hot but now you're cold Watch another one take the fall You gonna keep on talking Hoping you can justify Tell your story when you're walking 'Cause the wishing well is running dry You getting highs and lows And the lady knows you're playing for your life You're a dead man holding aces and eights And your luck's fun out this time You got your back to the wall Should you raise or call? I wouldn't take that chance You got the dead man's hand You got your back to the wall Should you raise or call? I wouldn't take that chance You got the dead man's hand
