lyrics

you hold between your fingers the hand you always wanted to hold. every time you play a card you know you'd eventually fold. little squeeze play, little decoy. hold 'em close to your chest. now the odds are flipped around and you wanna try to lick the best. i know you didn't mean to play, with the hearts that were coming your way. but this heart wants to take a chance, on the numbers, and play ... dealer's choice, against the house odds. you got a hold on my cards at large. dealer's choice, better hold them tight. i bet my king wins tonight. time to make the move that you wanted. no more time for regrets. silly boys may hassle you but they just don't know when to call their bets. i know you didn't mean to play, with the hearts that were coming your way. but this heart wants to take a chance, on the numbers, and play ... dealer's choice, against the house odds. you got a hold on my cards at large. dealer's choice, better hold them tight. i bet my king wins tonight. aw, the cards that you're playin makes me think that you're stayin. hey, you know i'll treat you right. i just can't lose tonight.

about

The Scrimshanders came out of Jamaica Plain, MA in 1998. John Magee, Tom Baker, Jamie Griffith and Kevin Scollan grabbed a ... more case or two of Buds and a bag of songs one night; the rest is history. Ace pedal steelman Tim Obetz lent a regular hand. Joby DeCoster took over from Scollan on drums in the early going, and "Longneck" was born.

It took 9 years for the followup to appear. Will there be more? less
