They say a king can beat a queen
But a ace in the hole beats everything

Oh, yeah
Do you know what I mean

You’re free to go
I got a ace in the hole
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on

Oh, you’re free to go
I got a ace in the hole
When your love foresakes me
He’ll be there to take me

You dealt me love
From the bottom of the deck
The love we built
You let another wreck

You were two-timin’
Just lovin’ another
But I played my cards right
When I found me a lover

Oh, you’re free to go
I got a ace in the hole
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on

Oh, you’re free to go
I got a ace in the hole
When your love foresakes me
He’ll be there to take me

Wheelin’ and dealin’
Now you lost the feeling

Ooh, I was afraid
One day you’d leave
And to ease the pain
I slipped a card up my sleeve

I knew you were cheatin’
I could see it on your face
But I didn’t want to leave
So I played it safe

Oh, you’re free to go
I got a ace in the hole
When your love foresakes me
He’ll be there to take me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Get up, get up
You’re playin’ a losin’ game
Now get, get, get up
I got a new old man

Oh, you’re free to go
I got a ace in the hole
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on

Oh, you’re free to go
I got a ace in the hole
When your love foresakes me
He’ll be there to take me

Oh, now get
Get on out
