Just One Year Away
It was our yearly poker game
We drove in through the snow
Just who would win the most today?
There was no way to know
I brought a bag of change with me
It was a large amount
It was the time to start to play
So I began to count
I traded money for some chips
Then traded once again
Was losing dollars pretty fast
In multiples of ten
I was so sure that I would win
So I thought it was strange
That once again I had to dip
Into my bag of change
There was one player who played well
And had a lot of luck
The rest of us were wondering
"Hey, why do my cards suck?"
He left us in a cloud of dust
It all happened so quick
Our money, he did take away
Our asses, he did kick
Don't worry guys, although good luck
Was not with us today
A chance to win our money back
Is just one year away.
