Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

You’ve got to have an ace in the holeA little secret that nobody knowsLife is a gamble, a game we all playBut you need to save something for a rainy day
You’ve got to learn to play your cards rightIf you expect to win in lifeDon’t put it all on the line for just one rollYou’ve got to have an ace in the hole
If you’re headed down a one way streetAnd you’re not sure it’s the way you wanna goIn money or love or all the aboveHave a little more than what you show
When life deals out a surpriseHave a few surprises of your ownNo matter what you do, no matter where you goYou’ve got to have an ace in the hole
You’ve got to have an ace in the holeA little secret that nobody knowsLife is a gamble, a game we all playBut you need to save something for a rainy day
You’ve got to learn to play your cards rightIf you expect to win in lifeDon’t put it all on the line for just one rollYou’ve got to have an ace in the hole
Don’t put it all on the line for just one rollYou’ve got to have an ace in the holeNo matter what you do, no matter where you goYou’ve got to have an ace in the hole
