Rack 'Em Up

I used to hang out down at Jack's Pool Hall

You go down there and don't do nothin' at all

You wanted to play some cards there was a game in the back

If you wanted a shot of somethin', you went and talked to Jack

If you had a little money, and you was a grade A fool

There was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool

Rack 'em up

Rack 'em up

Rack 'em up

Rack 'em up

'Til the day he was dead that's all they ever said was

Rack 'em up

He didn't own a TV set, didn't own no car

He ate whatever Jack was makin' back behind the bar

They said he had a wife, but she left him in tears

He hasn't been home once in 25 years

Rack 'em up

Rack 'em up, yeah-yeah-yeah

They'd come from all over thinkin' they was pretty hot

Put their money on the table, wanna play the best we got

Nine in the corner, five in the side

He'd take a hundred dollar bill and just let it ride

I'd tell 'em, "Listen here Sonny, there ain't no disaster

There ain't no shame in being beaten by a master"

Rack 'em up

Rack 'em up

Rack 'em up

Rack 'em up

Rack 'em up

'Til the day he was gone they said it all day long

Rack 'em up
