I'm in the big blind 
With an average stack and aggressive image 
The four seat limps right after me, never a good sign 
He's been beating up the table showing down strong cards all night 
The maniac in the nine throws in another raise, he loves to raise 
Confusing foolishness for courage and swinging on a vine 
I peek at my cards 
And decide I'm gonna defend the four seat does the same 

And we all buckle in for our favorite ride 

I'm first to act and bet the pot hoping to win it right then and there 
But the 4 seat calls and the maniac folds 
And I'm out of position with a lowly pair of twos 
The dealer burns and turns 
It is in this half second where life becomes perfect 
The mind a weapon 
Tomorrow's worries and yesterday's mistakes, they crumble and fall away 
For now I'm on the wire 

I check, the four bets 
THe trap snaps shut as I push my whole stack into the middle 
He shakes his head to let me know 
He doesn't have those dreaded pocket 8's 
And sighs "I have to call" 

The river comes, that sexy, sexy Ace of spades 
And all is well in the world 

Now you wanna take a good man down? 
Send him back to his wallet to steam off another 500? 
Well you just wink and show him threes up
