Where The Water Goes

Twenty bucks in, lay your hand down
Waiting for the queen and coming unwound
Covered both sides, pistol and cash
Lost a gold ring in the cigarette ash
Giving up two for getting one back
Shuffle up a deal from a poor man’s pack
Single-Eye Sam watching you sweat
You aint gonna win if you aint won yet
Never wonder where the money all went
Only got better with the bigger you spent
Never wonder how the river still flows
But everyone knows where the water goes
Beggars comin' by in a Mexican Wave
Chosen ones all got a soul to save
Kids sleeping on a hardwood floor
Catch a thief running from a TV store
45 channels of late-night news
A tailor-made suit with Italian shoes
First-time killer with a blood-red hand
Walked away whistling to a Dixie band
Take a bag of gold and turn it into dirt
Keep your eyes down and you won’t get hurt
Twenty bucks in, one more round
That dirty old queen’s gonna let you down
Never wonder where the money all went
Only got better with the bigger you spent
Never wonder how the river still flows
But everyone knows where the water goes
You gotta wonder how that river still flows
When everybody knows where the water goes
