The Joker

by Hudson Westbrook

Lyrics
I work down at the yard, and she's in nursing school
She's old money pearls, I'm cheap tattoos
She leans a little more white dress linen
And I'm dirt-stained denim
Oh, she's a queen
Could have any king, I'm lucky that me and East Texas hold her
Where her head falls, who her phone calls
Night or day, half-drunk or sober
You ask her to fold, no, she wouldn't dare
No, she wouldn't care if anyone told her
She's a queen, could have any king
Yeah, how 'bout that? Not too bad for the joker
Well, it's her world, and I'm just in it
Her daddy'd trade me up in a New York minute, mmm
She's a sure-fire bet, and I'm a wild card move
Opposites attract, and I'm glad they do
Oh, she's a queen, could have any king
I'm lucky that me and East Texas hold her
Where her head falls, who her phone calls
Night or day, half-drunk or sober
You ask her to fold, no, she wouldn't dare
No, she wouldn't care if anyone told her
She's a queen, could have any king
Yeah, how 'bout that? Not too bad for the joker
Yeah, how 'bout that? Not too bad
Oh, she's a queen, could have any king
I'm lucky that me and East Texas hold her
Where her head falls, who her phone calls
Night or day, half-drunk or sober
You ask her to fold, no, she wouldn't dare
She wouldn't care if anyone told her
She's a queen, could have any king
Yeah, how 'bout that? Not too bad for the joker
Yeah, how 'bout that? Not too bad
Yeah, not too bad for the joker
