Lyrics

[Verse 1] In a hotel with no power No water and no heat We played poker by Jesus candlelight They said it was a rollin' blackout But nothin' rolled our way I guess that we'll just ride it out tonight [Verse 2] We played the rodeo in town We were flyin' 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 [Chorus] Well, home can seem so far When there's no way to get there Time refuses to move on We should have been in Denver Gettin' ready for a show But we're stuck here playin' cards in San Antone [Verse 3] One night turned to four and then five And I brought clothes for two Well, I must admit it's all gettin' us down Livin' on Jimmy Dean biscuits And gettin' beer from a joint next door And placin' bets when we're gettin' outta this town [Chorus] Well, home can seem so far When there's no way to get there Time refuses to move on And we should have been in Denver Gettin' ready for a show But we're stuck here playin' cards in San Antone [Bridge] We could see the lights on the Alamo Dome And downtown too And I'm sittin' here, bookin' these backup flights In this cold dark room [Chorus] Well, 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
