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
