Five of a Kind
Music and Lyrics by Mike Maimone
(c) 2012
This river is a line between us and them
This river is a line between us and them
This river is a line between us and them
God made it to divide, who can argue with Him?
He put you on a side with your only friends
He put you on a side so that you could make friends
He put you on a side and them gon’ be your friends
But the river will wind, and the river will bend
CUT THE STRINGS ON YOUR MARIONETTE
and step aside if you ain’t gonna bet
Jacks are wild, and we ain’t in a rush
you know that Five of a Kind will always beat a straight flush
The Devil is alive and he looks like Hell
The Devil is alive and he looks like Hell
The Devil is alive and he looks like Hell
But you know what they say – oh well, oh well, oh well
He put you on a side with your only friends
He put you on a side so that you could make friends
He put you on a side and them gon’ be your friends
But the river will wind, and the river will bend
CUT THE STRINGS ON YOUR MARIONETTE
and step aside if you ain’t gonna bet
Jacks are wild, and we ain’t in a rush
you know that Five of a Kind will always beat a straight flush
Stop steppin’ on my side
I got my side you got your side
Stay steppin’ on your side
You got your side I got my side
I’m steppin’ on tall pines
You’re steppin’ on apple orchards
I’m steppin’ on tall pines
I got my side you got your side now…
