Paul Simon, Richard Tee - Ace in the Hole lyrics

Some people say Jesus that's the
Ace in the hole but I never met the man
So I don't really know
Maybe some Christmas if I'm sick and alone
He will look up my number
Call me on the phone and I'll say

Hey, boy, where you been so long?
Don't you know me, I'm your ace in the hole

Two hundred dollars
That's my ace in the hole when I'm down
Dirty and desperate that's my
Emergency bank roll
I got two hundred dollars
That's the price on the street
If you wanna get some quality that's
The price you got to meet and the man says

Hey, junior, where you been so long?
Don't you know me, I'm your ace in the hole

Once I was crazy and my ace in the hole
Was that I knew that I was crazy
So I never lost my self-control
I just walk in the middle of the road
I sleep in the middle of the bed
I stop in the middle of a sentence and the
Voice in the middle of my head said

Hey, junior, where you been so long?
Don't you know me, I'm your ace in the hole
Ace in the hole, lean on me
Don't you know me, I'm your guarantee

Riding on this rolling bus
Beneath a stormy sky
With a slow moon rising and
The smokestacks drifting by
In the hour when the heart is
Weakest and the memory is strong
When time has stopped but the
Bus just rolls along

Roll on, roll on roll on, roll on
Roll on, roll on

Some people say music
That's their ace in the hole
Just your ordinary rhythm and blues
Your basic rock and roll
You can sit on the top of the beat
You can lean on the side of the beat
You can hang from the bottom of the beat but
You got to admit that the music is sweet
Where you been so long
Don't you know me, I'm your ace in the hole
Ace in the hole, lean on me
Don t you know me, I'm your guarantee

Some people say music
That's their ace in the hole
Just your ordinary rhythm and blues
Your basic rock and roll
You can sit on the top of the beat
You can lean on the side of the beat
You can hang from the bottom of the beat but
You got to admit that the music is sweet
Hey, junior, I'm your ace in the hole
