The Dealer
 作词 : Blake Pendergrass
 作曲 : Blake Pendergrass
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
