Privateering

She came on the river
With a gift for me
I’m in way deep
That’s how it has to be
It’s hot in the desert
But I’m cool in the zone
People call me lucky 
But I say you make your own


I’m on a roll
Yeah, I’m on a roll
I’m runnin’ hot
Baby, am I hot or what?


This is outrageous
I got all kinds of stuff
Can I dodge bullets
And can I bluff
Hot shots keep on a’ coming 
Looking for a fight
But the names are going down 
To the left and to the right


And I’m on a roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m on a roll
I’m runnin’ hot
Baby, am I hot or what?


It gets dark at night
That’s how it goes
It gets cold in winter 
Don’t be surprised if it snows
You wanna play Hold’em
With my friend Mr Chan
If you lose your stack, well
You sure can’t blame the man


Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha! 
I’m runnin’ hot
Baby, am I hot or what?


They play with me a while 
I’ll read ‘em like a book 
Let’s go have a drink or two
And talk about the scalps I took
I got a big old stack
I had me a big old day
Tomorrow I go back
Gonna take it all the way


‘Cos I’m on a roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m on a roll
I’m runnin’ hot 
Baby, am I hot or what?
I said I’m runnin’ hot, baby
Baby, am I hot or what?
