the best game in town

Singer:david allan coe

i was just warming up to this long-legged girl

with intentions to please. my blood started rushin'

as he laid his hand on my knee. by the look in her eyes

i thought she'd be easy. as she smiled and told me her name

then she said

i've been here before

and i know the rules to this game. i've tried to be cunning. i've tried to act naturally mean. you gotta take what fate deals you. maybe this time she's dealt me a queen. and if you play your cards right

you'll be with me tonight. and in the morning you'll still be there. play 'em wrong and you'll be sitting

across from a cold

empty chair. i sure hope you've got what i need

so i don't have to look anymore. i ain't no king

girl. well

i've held some jokers before!

as long as we are able

to lay our cards on the table

there's no need to shuffle around. we know how we feel

let's go on and deal. this looks like the best game in town. we know how we feel

let's go on and deal. this looks like the best game in town. you cut my heart like the cards on the table. you know the game

do you know the rules?

i'd let you win if i were able. but how can you win when it's love you'll lose.
