I'm in the big blind With an average stack and aggressive image The four seat limps right after me, never a good sign He's been beating up the table showing down strong cards all night The maniac in the nine throws in another raise, he loves to raise Confusing foolishness for courage and swinging on a vine I peek at my cards And decide I'm gonna defend the four seat does the same And we all buckle in for our favorite ride I'm first to act and bet the pot hoping to win it right then and there But the 4 seat calls and the maniac folds And I'm out of position with a lowly pair of twos The dealer burns and turns It is in this half second where life becomes perfect The mind a weapon Tomorrow's worries and yesterday's mistakes, they crumble and fall away For now I'm on the wire I check, the four bets THe trap snaps shut as I push my whole stack into the middle He shakes his head to let me know He doesn't have those dreaded pocket 8's And sighs "I have to call" The river comes, that s**y, s**y Ace of spades And all is well in the world Now you wanna take a good man down? Send him back to his wallet to steam off another 500? Well you just wink and show him threes up
