lyrics

Gonna spend it all on one last hand
if my luck fails me I don't care
life's been hard I do what I can
underneath the hood of this dirty white van

Look at that it's a red-eyed jack
I'll take a whiskey double with a virgin back
standing right next to a suicide king
hit me one time let them aces sing

I took the money and I started to run
the dirty white van turned over for once
I was rolling like a monkey in a barrel of fun
I took the money 'cause I should'a won

I had a little trouble on the open road
I hit the mountains and it started to snow
I spent the night on the side of the road
Beggin' for forgiveness and cursin' the cold

The colder I got the more I learned
that money that's stolen is money to burn
money burns fast as the night grows old
where do you go when you're all alone

Gonna spend it all on one last hand
if my luck fails me I don't care
I'll still swing the hammer try and make the bell ring
but I'll stay away from the suicide king
