You rolled into town, ridin' high
You found glory, you found your life
You lead the shouts and called the shots
But your claim to victory quickly came up short

You were a charlatagne, a liar in their eyes
You took their lives and you played to win
The angry mob finally tracked you down
They left you bleeding, broken to the ground

You played a hunch and you came up short
You stalked the ace, but it left you dry
You ran a race which held no end
Your royal flush crumbles in your eyes

You were a city hawk, but they clipped your wings
They left you to die in the still of night
Does your blood run cold, can you feel the pain
They got your number, they lived your past
You're running once again
Your luck it will not last

You played a hunch and you came up short
You stalked the ace, but it left you dry
You ran a race which held no end
Your royal flush crumbles in your eyes

Another day, another night
The same people wear different faces
You know the times, you know them by heart
Your game will end before it can start
You set the stage, they pay the price
You will go on until the shadows come

You played a hunch and you came up short
You stalked the ace, but it left you dry
You ran a race which held no end
Your royal flush crumbles
