Smooth Stroke Lyrics

went out to grab a bite

Have some beers and shoot a little pool

I'm not the best but I love to play.

I've won some bets along the way

And I've been known to take a guy to school.

Just below a neon light

At the table to my right

An old man sat, turning up his beer

Well I'd had a beer or three

He looked like an easy mark to me

What happened next, ain't exactly clear

He was a smooth stroke, Never poke,

I tell ya man, it ain't no joke

Never gives a game away

Anything you wanna play

Curves the ball with ma say

Straight aimin' pool shootin' fool

Well I was gonna break and run

And then hold back and have some fun

Before I pounce and come in for the kill

Things were going right to plan

Until I gave him ball in hand

And dammit man, that old dude had skills

He was a smooth stroke, Never poke,

I tell ya man, it ain't no joke

Never gives a game away

Anything you wanna play

Curves the ball with ma say

Straight aimin' pool shootin' fool

I learned some lessons that night

And gained new insights

That I'd like to pass along to you

Never judge a book by its cover

And never challenge a man

That brought his own damn cue

He was a smooth stroke, Never poke,

I tell ya man, it ain't no joke

Never gives a game away

Anything you wanna play

Curves the ball with ma say

Straight aimin' pool shootin' fool
