One of Those Nights - Bobby Caldwell

Playing poker is my claim to fame

High rollers come to know my name

I’m at the top of my favorite game

And it’s gonna' be one of those nights

In the back room at Stanley’s Bar

Won’t mention names, they know who they are

I’ve been playing like a superstar

And it’s gonna' be one of those nights

Close the doors

Dim the lights

And then pour another scotch on ice

Bet it all and hope my luck holds out

It’s gonna' be one of those nights

The same characters that lost before

Making small talk, they’re such a bore

All here to even up the score

Guess it’s gonna' be one of those nights

Close the doors

Dim the lights

And then pour another scotch on ice

Bet it all and hope my luck holds out

It’s gonna' be one of those nights

A card shark name of Jimmy «The User»

A well known abuser, it earned him the name

Discovered cheating and branded a loser

He wished he’d never learned the game

Close the doors

Dim the lights

And then pour another scotch on ice

Bet it all and hope my luck holds out

I’ll live to play a next time

It’s gonna' be one of those nights
