Ay, so I think, uh, I think my old man is here somewhere in the crowd this evening He's grown to be one of my best friends in the entire world One night we were playing pool together somewhere, who know where And he told me this story about his gran-, my grandpa, his father He used to take him to the bar and make him shoot pool for him And this is a song called "Nine Ball", hope you guys don't hate it
I don't wanna bet, but my father wrote a check That I bet his ass could never cash He's bettin' on the eight-ball landin' in the side wall Cold-blooded killer if you ask But every night, he needs me to land himself a red three Corner pocket at 12:00 a.m. Only 12-years-old, but I got ahold Of a pool stick I was gifted from him
My father was a bettin' man But I got myself a steady hand Sittin' in the corner with a six-pack of Corona Bettin' that his son'll win again My father was a bettin' man
Go bet another six-pack, bet I make a comeback I know that this table's got a lean Won't you take me fishing? And I wanna try out For the seventh grade football team You'll probably be nothin' but this town's old drunkard And die on a smoke-stained stool But right now, he's got a bargain that he's taken too far On his boy's game of nine-ball pool
My father was a bettin' man But I got myself a steady hand Sittin' in the corner with a six-pack of Corona Bettin' that his son'll win again My father was a bettin' man
