The Dealer

歌詞

I got a million questions, like, "Why the hell can't Heaven be on Earth?" "Why do good folks have to hurt?" "Why's life a lesson?" "Why's every single blessin' have a curse?" "Why's love take so much work?" And why does Mom and Daddy's hair have to turn gray? I guess everyone's got reasons why their shoulders carry weight There's been a few days I 'bout folded But I found one more card to play Been a few days, I was hopeless And I'll be damned, I drew an ace Guess that's life and that's why I remind myself To spend more time talkin' to the dealer Than worryin' about the hands I'm dealt Sure feels like life would be better if hearts like mine, they never wound up broke That ain't how most stories go I won't lie, I'm tired of walkin' through this fire and brimstone world we all call home But I'm, I'm still sittin' at the table makin' bets I'm bettin' that some better times are comin' up ahead, yeah There's been a few days I 'bout folded But I found one more card to play Been a few days, I was hopeless And I'll be damned, I drew an ace I guess that's life and that's why I remind myself To spend more time talkin' to the dealer Than worryin' about the hands I'm dealt The hands I'm dealt And I used to think you're supposed to pray 'Cause it was somethin' that God needs But now I see it's less for him And really more for me There's been a few days I 'bout folded But I found one more card to play Been a few days, I was hopeless And I'll be damned, I drew an ace I guess that's life and that's why I remind myself To spend more time talkin' to the dealer Than worryin' about the hands I'm dealt The hands I'm dealt
