Hank Thompson - Ace In The Hole lyrics

This world is full of guys who think they're mighty wise Who'd like to change the way our country's run These hippies and demonstrators Draft-dodgers and agitators Want old age benefits at 21 You see them everyday from New York to LA But you never see them on the old payroll They drive foreign cars and Mustangs Wears sandals, beads and such things But they all have an ace down in the hole Some of them get paid for parades with protest signs That's they're old ace down in the hole Others have friends in the old welfare line That's they're old ace down in the hole There's not a college campus they can't overrun From Harvard down to the Cotton Bowl But shave away their beards And wash behind their ears Then they'd lose that old ace down in the hole They'll brag about riots they participated in From Florida up to the old North Pole And if we stop our givin' they have to earn a livin' And they'd lose that old ace down in the hole
