Ace In The Hole

Joe Allison, Hank Thompson, Merle Travis

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
