Losing Hand 5:47
Deuce's up, Jack's down, seems my luck has already left town
I've come up short, when the odds were long,
Watched my chance slide from right to wrong
When I knew better I could have left you alone,
Just keep the memories of all that I've known
I was all in, you'd found your way out,
Seems I forget what the deal is all about
The cards I draw, change hope to fear
Maybe its because your not here
Wishing and hoping won't bring you back,
As I turn my last card over, it's not a deuce, not a jack
Hand by hand, a pair is just two
Seems I got nothing to gain and everything to lose
I try to remember how, it is to win
As I reach deeper in the pocket, going all in
Thought I knew better, when I left you alone
Trying to remember when I still had a home
The odds stay long, my time has come
To ante up, and pretend it's a whole lotta fun
It's not enough to stay cool and wait
Really it's time to accelerate
I keep thinking I'll find my way
But I only hear the clock ticking turning night into day
Maybe one more whisky, while the smoke lies thick
Try to find a bluff, pull a smooth magic trick
They say luck can turn if you find the key
Ain't nobody else gonna turn that key for me
I should know better why I'm now alone
Why the love of chance gave me a heart of stone
Just one more card for my house to be full
But still smart enough to know I'm just dancing with a fool
When I faced you, my only queen, the card I so needed was never seen
Now I'm countin' every card
Trying to find the one that is you
I know what I need, I know a pair, a pair is just two
