One Of Those Nights

(albüm: House Of Cards - 2012)

Playing poker is my claim to fame
High rollers come to know my name
I'm at the top of my favorite game
And it's gonna' be one of those nights

In the back room at Stanley's Bar
Won't mention names, they know who they are
I've been playing like a superstar
And it's gonna' be one of those nights

Close the doors
Dim the lights
And then pour another scotch on ice
Bet it all and hope my luck holds out
It's gonna' be one of those nights

The same characters that lost before
Making small talk, they're such a bore
All here to even up the score
Guess it's gonna' be one of those nights

Close the doors
Dim the lights
And then pour another scotch on ice
Bet it all and hope my luck holds out
It's gonna' be one of those nights

A card shark name of Jimmy “The User”
A well known abuser, it earned him the name
Discovered cheating and branded a loser
He wished he'd never learned the game

Close the doors
Dim the lights
And then pour another scotch on ice
Bet it all and hope my luck holds out
I'll live to play a next time
It's gonna' be one of those nights
