John Wesley Harding
[Verse 1]
The children of a transport blank
A one-hand magazine
Did you really think we could be the first ones?
Your telephone starts ringing
The balloon pops in your eyes
Don't you put yourself into any spot not fun
[Chorus]
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
In aces
[Verse 2]
The doctor with a white coat on
He's got the worker daddy blues
It ain't what you need but how you can recover
And too much loaded ain't enough
Every roll's a cage
It's just that some of them get a little cagier than others
[Chorus]
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
In aces
[Bridge]
And I've seen a million stones come down
From up in outer space
I've seen a man catch a red bus
No eyes on his face
I've seen a dumb and run out fast
To build a railroad track
This time 'round I'm getting out
And never coming back
[Chorus]
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
[Verse 3]
Spiral churches skinny finger points
I crane my neck to see
There ain't no sight quite like a good disaster
It's a cutting board arrangement
It's a well known natural fact
That the best plans are no plans
Has to be exact
[Chorus]
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
[Verse 4]
Some nights when it's cold and black
The headlights on the wall
I feel the closest to how and why
And in the spring I think I'll get me
A brand new Triumph bike
See how fast fast can go
And do it to the sky
[Chorus]
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
I've been covered up in aces, covered up in aces
Covered up in aces, covered up in aces
