I used to hang out at jack's pool hall
you go down there and don't do nothin'at all
if you anted to play some cards there was a game in the back
if you wanted to shoot or some' you went and talked to jack
if you had little money 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 , yeah rack 'em up, rack 'em up
till the day he was dead that all they ever said
rack 'em up
he didn't own a tv set, didn't own a car
he ate what whatever jack was makin' back behind the bar
they said he had a wife, but she had left him in tears
he hadn't been home in twenty-five years
rack 'em up, rack 'em up,rack 'em up
rack 'em up
they came from all over thinkin' they were pretty hot
put all their money in the table, wanna play the best we got
nine in the corner, five in the side
take a hundred dollar bill and just let it ride
i tell him listen son, there ain't no disaster
there ain't no shame in being beaten by a master
rack 'em up, rack 'em up, aaah, rack 'em up, rack 'em up
till the day he was gone they said it all day long
rack 'em up
