Other Cards to Play

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The group of men sat at the table Fingers rigid on the cards In their hands my fate was fabled Bellied up now to the bar Bluffing just to get a word in Choke on the smoke of the cigar So I showed a little too much heart Said that's the shape of my new scar [Chorus] I've got other cards to play I've got other cards to play So I'm walkin' away [Verse 2] Living in some kind of stupor Wonderin' if I played it wrong Would some different kind of future Be the place that I belong? Tangled up in roots of regret I got growin' round the room Need a spadе to dig up now Joker played me likе a fool [Chorus] I've got other cards to play I've got other cards to play So I'm walkin' away [Bridge] Tricksters, hustlers Betting all my luck, sir Knuckle down, trickle down Full house on the fence, girl In my own defense I swore that I was Givin' you the right one Even though it felt wrong And if that's the beauty When will I see? Kings and and queens Got nothing on me Back where I started What I always wanted Stuck up my sleeve So let it be [Chorus] I've got other cards to play I've got other cards to play I've got other cards to play So I'm walkin' away
