They all sat around in a circle 
They were all laughing and all telling lies 
Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar 
He said boys I've got nothing to hide 
Now if the King and the Queen stood together 
Then the ace he would not be to blame 
And if the cards were all laid on the table 
Then love could be more than a game 

And if the stars didn't shine on the water 
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand 
And if I were the man you wanted 
I would not be the man that I am 

And I have seen my share of long nights 
And I have told my share of lies 
And I have run into the darkness 
When I saw the look in your eyes 
But if the night didn't lie in the darkness 
Then the daylight would be hard to find 
And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness 
I would have never have spoken my mind 

And if the stars didn't shine on the water 
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand 
And if I were the man you wanted 
Then I would not be the man that I am 

So if you're going out to Carolina 
Then don't linger in New Mexico 
And if you think of the one there behind you 
Then you might not feel so alone 

And if the stars didn't shine on the water 
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand 
And if I were the man you wanted 
I would not be the man that I am
