Aces up Your Sleeve

I still turn down the boulevard

Thinking I'm coming home to you

I live way down south of town

On Indiana Avenue

They say the north side's hummin' now

Big money and big dreams

When we lived there

You kept a pair

Of aces up your sleeve

The light is bright in the restaurants

Where you and he go to be seen

But there's no light on the barroom floors

Where you swept them all off of their feet

I don't know if our love

Means anything anymore

But it used to make you breathe

And it was fair to keep a pair

Of aces up your sleeve

My headlights know these old back roads

It's the perfect sleight of hand

I'm driven to the darkness by

The promise I will see again

The Queen of Hearts has shown her face

She wants you to believe

You were never meant to have

Aces up your sleeve

You were never meant to have

Aces up your sleeve
