There I was in Arizona playing stud with a dead man's hand In the thick of a nasty downswing Getting coffee-housed by a well dress man But my main concern was a big stack Who knocked a times then he let him down I knew right then it wasn't going to be pretty I had to vamoose but I didn't know how. Thought I was cool as a cactus holding trips, waiting for the ace My poker face I guess needs some practice. I finally learned how deep water tastes I got stopped in Salt Lake City I was trying to pa** when I heard the howl That policeman said "you sure are pretty" It's a gawl-darn shame I gotta take you down Thought I was free as a pheasant, flying low chasing my dreams It's kinda strange out there in the desert. I finally learned what deep water means. Thought I was free as a pheasant, flying low chasing my dreams It's kinda strange out there in the desert. I finally learned what deep water means.
