The Cards I've Been Dealt

I've always been a gambler since the day I learned to crawl
Ain't afraid to bet on myself, ain't afraid to risk it all
I've learned some hardy wisdom, had to dig out of a ditch
Ain't the money in one's pocket that makes a man so rich
Some draw diamonds, some draw hearts
Some draw aces right from the start
Some have bad luck that follows a man
But I make my own luck and play my hand
I wouldn't trade with anyone else
Just live this life with the cards I've been dealt
The cards I've been dealt
Love's always a wildcard
A joker in the night
Yeah, the queen's a quiet killer
If you don't play her right
And I didn't play her right
Some draw diamonds, some draw hearts
Some draw aces right from the start
Some have bad luck that follows a man
But I make my own luck and play my hand
I wouldn't trade with anyone else
Just live this life with the cards I've been dealt
The cards I've been dealt
Some draw diamonds, some draw hearts
Some draw aces right from the start
Some have bad luck that follows a man
But I make my own luck and play my hand
I wouldn't trade with anyone else
Just live this life with the cards I've been dealt
The cards I've been dealt
