When the Game Gets Hot

[Chorus]
Always remember what the old man taught
Don't get greedy and you won't get caught
You won't get rich, but you won't get shot
You gotta keep your cool when the game gets hot

[Verse 1]
Oh, when I play the game, I sometimes cheat
I'll take a little heat occasionally
But I wanna be invited back here next week
So, if I get lucky, hey, I'm everybody's buddy, that's me
Knew what you drew 'fore I dealt you your card
A cold deck, a second, a crimp, or a mark
But I might let you off of the hook even yet
Bеcause I'm sharp enough to know to not to win evеry bet

[Chorus]
Always remember what the old man taught
Don't get greedy and you won't get caught
You won't get rich, but you won't get shot
You gotta keep your cool when the game gets hot

[Verse 2]
Some of these guys like to splash it around
Talk real tough, big men around town
It'd feel real good just to take 'em down now
But it's better that I let 'em bleed out real slow
Leave the milk, steal the cream
Don't kill the goose, don't skin the sheep
Don't wanna get arrested in Omaha
Don't wanna have my hands broke again in Arkansas

[Chorus]
Always remember what the old man taught
Don't get greedy for every pot
You won't get rich, but you won't get shot
You gotta keep your cool when the game gets hot
