Lyrics
"Aces Up My Sleeve"
©2015
Way down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Where the river boated gamblers love the Mississippi queens
Where the honky-tonk piano never lets go of the beat
And the whisky flows like water and the women out in the street
Oh the ace is up my sleeve tonight
Oh I think that the time is right
Oh give me love or give me a fight
Oh we gonna hit the town tonight...
Well you can call Mary Jane up an I'll call Peggy Sue
We'll meet 'em at ten o'clock now tell you what we're gonna do
We'll get naked in the river
We'll watch the moon we'll count the stars
We'll raise hell in the country
We'll make love in the back of my car
Oh the ace is up my sleeve tonight
Oh I think that the time is right
Oh give me love or give me a fight
Oh we've got to hit the town tonight
