Cards in San Antone

In a hotel with no power

No water and no heat

We played poker by Jesus candlelight

They said it was a rolling blackout

But nothing rolled our way

I guess that we'll just ride it out tonight

We had played the rodeo in town

We were flying out today

But Mother Nature she had other plans

Sometimes the only choice you have

Is no choice at all

So go ahead deal another hand

Well home, can seems so far

When there's no way to get there

Time refuses to move on

We should've been in Denver

Getting ready for a show

But we're stuck here playing cards in San Antone

One night turned to 4 and then 5

And I brought clothes for 2

Well I must admit that it's all getting us down

Living on Jimmy Dean biscuits

Getting beer from a joint next door

Placing bets when we're getting outta this town

Well, home can seem so far

When there's no way to get there

Time refuses to move on

Now we should have been in Denver

Getting ready for a show

But we're stuck here playing cards in San Antone

We could see the lights on the Alamo Dome and downtown too

And I'm sitting here booking these backup flights

In this cold dark room

Now home can seem so far

When there's no way to get there

Time refuses to move on

Well I counted all my blessings

When our plane took to the sky

We left those cards face down in San Antone

We left those cards face down in San Antone
