about

Deep in the recesses of American popular music lies a crossroads, where for a short-while, Psychedelic Rock and Country Music merged. Rising from the ashes of Gram Parsons, The Byrds, and Early 70’s Dead, New Jersey based band, Mojohand blends together the Folk, Country, Blues, and Improvisation-infused Rock n Roll of the late 60's and early 70's with the Neo-Psychedelic sounds of today.

With the help of Dan Horne (Grateful Shred, Beachwood Sparks, Circles Around The Sun) on pedal steel guitar, Mojohand have further refined their modern take on Cosmic Americana with their fifth new single of 2020, “Losing Hand”.

lyrics

Lyrics:

When playing cards with the devil
You better hope you get the free roll
'Cuz he don't play fair
It's a nightmare

He'll pull you in for one more round
And tell you he don't wanna see you frown
But he's lying
So conniving

He'll wink and say,
"Always double your bet after a losing hand"
Then he'll send you on your way

When playing cards with the devil
He'll wanna see how far you go
He's testing you
He brings out the worst in you

Then he'll try to lure you on down
And crown you as the ruler of the underground
You desperado, bandit, aficionado

Just wink and say,
"Can't you tell by my face I've got a winning hand"
Then just hightail it away

Don't trust that dealer
When his cards are as dark as river clay
Don't trust that dealer
Not any day

When playing cards with the devil
He'll try to drag you to his level
'Cuz he's lonely
No I ain't joking

Next time he tries for one more round
Just turn around and point out his frown
He'll start crying
So much for terrifying

He'll wink and say
"Always double your bet after a losing hand"
Then he'll send you on your way
