Lyrics

After Carol Ann Conway came to town, nothin’ was ever the same
Didn’t take long for folks to learn, she ran a gamblin’ game
People came from miles around, just to feel that spark
Playin' Texas Hold ’Em, poker, and twenty-one past dark

She dealt the cards like a queen with a crown
Wore boots and a smile that could shut you down
Five foot seven, brown hair brown eyes, as pretty as pretty can be
A smile that could stop you dead in your tracks and you'd forget what you was trying to say

I couldn’t help but notice her, like every other guy
She walked into a room and the silence would amplify
She wasn’t just pretty — she was wild and free
A storm in a sundress, a wild Texas fantasy

But late one night at Carol Ann’s game
While the whiskey poured and the wild chips came
The cards were hot, but the truth came free
Carol Ann placed her bet on me

That night at her game, I still believe
The cards were hot, but the love came free
She laid her bet and set me free
Thank God she gambled on me

She dealt the cards like a queen with a crown
Wore boots and a smile that could shut you down
Five foot seven, brown hair brown eyes, as pretty as pretty can be
A smile that could stop you dead in your tracks but she heard what I had to say.

She liked to gamble
Yeah, she was a gambler,
Thank God she gambled on me
