Lyrics

Ace In The Hole
Written by Kitty Steadman


Take a look at the table
Before you line up your next shot
What you’re left with next is more important
Than what you’ve already got
Because progress is planned
Moving pieces make messes
And things don’t always fall how you want

Dealers and decks and antes
Leave a lot in the pot
You know life is a gamble
You can’t always handle
Sometimes you’re gonna fall
A the deck seems unfair
When you’re sitting and staring
At the royal family in Hearts

You’ve got an ace in the hole
You can call anytime that you need
And you know I’ll be there
I’m no diamond in the rough
No, I don’t look like much
Don’t you fold without me there
I hope you always know
You’ve got an ace in the hole

Throw your darts with both eyes open
Don’t lose sight of what you want to hit
Toe the line but don’t cross it
This world is unfair as it is
Don’t you ever do wrong
To get what you want
Some victories will never be sweet

You’ve got an ace in the hole
You can call anytime that you need
And you know I’ll be there
I’m no diamond in the rough
No, I don’t look like much
Don’t you fold without me there
I hope you always know
You’ve got an ace in the hole

Leave my scars where they are
Learn from my mistakes
When your hand gets too hard or too heavy
You can give it to me

You’ve got an ace in the hole
You can call anytime that you need
And you know I’ll be there
You’re my diamond in the rough
I love you so much
Don’t you fold without me there
One day I’ll be gone
And you’ll move on
And if I can I swear I’ll be there
Your ace in the hole
