Deep Water

There I was in Arizona
 playing stud with a dead man's hand
 In the thick of a nasty downswing
 Getting coffee-housed by a well dress man
 But my main concern was a big stack
 Who knocked a times then he let him down
 I knew right then it wasn't going to be pretty
 I had to vamoose but I didn't know how.
 Thought I was cool as a cactus
 holding trips, waiting for the ace
 My poker face I guess needs some practice.
 I finally learned how deep water tastes
 I got stopped in Salt Lake City
 I was trying to pass when I heard the howl
 That policeman said "you sure are pretty"
 It's a gawl-darn shame I gotta take you down
 Thought I was free as a pheasant,
 flying low chasing my dreams
 It's kinda strange out there in the desert.
