At the table with a couple of my friends
We're having a laugh or two again
The pile in the middle gets higher still
Looks about enough to pay my bills
But I just saw the ace go by
Leaving me here high and dry
Now my straight's gone crooked
My straight's gone crooked
As a three dollar bill
Pit boss gives me a dirty look
Cashier reads me like a book
My glass is empty and I'm feelin' down
Can't win for losin' in this damn town
But I just saw the ace go by
Leavin' me here high and dry
Now my straight's gone crooked
My straight's gone crooked
As a three dollar bill
My good luck charm ain't workin'
I don't know why
All I know is
Time ain't on my side
