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
