A regular in our live set for years. We did a video for this song:

lyrics

i was sitting at the table justa playin' 21
i was getting pretty good at the game
i was holding on a 20 but the dealer drew an ace
now i haven't got a penny to my name
well i said now wait a minute buddy, that's how it goes
think you've made, baby you just never know

well i met a little lady and i kinda liked her style
and i think she really liked mine to
so we headed for the exit, we were walking hand in hand
and i knew just what i wanted to do
she said now wait a minute honey, and that's how it goes
think you've made it, baby you just never know

everytime i get caught up, thinkin' things will be ok
if i play my cards just right, i'll be gettin' lucky today, b-b-b-b

baby won't ya come by on a saturday night,
i'm feelin' lonely kinda needin' a friend
then i hear a voice behind her say "you better hang up,
'cause tonight you'll be staying in"
i said now wait a minute honey, but that's how it goes
think you've made it, baby you just never know

everytime i get caught up, thinkin' things will be ok
if i play my cards just right, i'll be gettin' lucky today, b-b-b-b

baby won't ya come by on a saturday night,
i'm feelin' lonely kinda needin' a friend
then i hear a voice behind her say "you better hang up,
'cause tonight you'll be staying in"
i said now wait a minute honey, but that's how it goes
think you've made it, baby you just never know
