If I had a gun for every ace I've drawn

[ET Awful]

I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me baby cause I'm moaning low
You know I'm only in it for the gold

All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
You'll never find another honest man

Last fair deal in the country, sweet Suzy
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is, baby
Before you let my deal go down

Don't you push me baby
because I'm moaning low
I know a little something
you won't ever know
Don't you touch hard liquor just
a cup of cold coffee
Gonna get up
in the morning and go

Everybody's bragging and drinking that wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shine
Come to Daddy on an inside straight
I got no chance of losing this time
No, I got no chance of losing this time

3. Good rock lyricists are few and far between

As a matter of fact, I think I can count the good ones on one hand:

GD
Procol Harum (heck, they had Keith Reid as a member just to do the lyrics)
Joni Mitchell (ok, not really rock, but more than folk, jazzy)
Elvis Costello
Tom Waits
XTC (OK, two hands)
