Zach Bryan Nine Ball Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna bet, but my father wrote a check that I bet his ass could never cash
He's bettin' on the eight ball landing in the side wall, cold-blooded killer if you ask
But every night, he needs me to land himself a red three-corner pocket at 12 A.M
Only twelve years-old, but I got a hold of a pool stick I was gifted from him

[Chorus]
My father is a bettin' man
But I got myself a steady hand
He's sittin' in the corner with a six-pack of Corona
Bettin' that his son'll win again
[Verse 2]
Go bet another six-pack
Bet I make a comeback
Count on that this table's got a lean
Won't you takе me fishing? And I want to try out for the sevеnth grade football team
You'll probably be nothin' but this town's old drunkard and die on a smoke-stained stool But right now, he's got a bargain that he's taken too far on his boy's game of nine-ball pool

[Chorus]
My father was a bettin' man
But I got myself a steady hand
He's sittin' in the corner with a six-pack of Corona
Bettin' that his son'll win again
My father was a bettin' man

[Outro]
My father was a bettin' man
But I got myself a steady hand
He's sittin' in the corner with a six pack of Corona
Bettin' that his son'll win again
I don't wanna bet, but my daddy wrote a check that I bet his ass could never cash
He's bettin' on the eight ball landing in the side wall
Cold-blooded killer if you ask
