The Winning Hand
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

A friend came by today
He told me this was it
He was tired of my shit
And it was time for us to quit

[bridge]

He was not very nice
Did not want to explain
He said it at least twice
Did not care if I complained
He had heard it all before
My gripes went on and on

Go out and get the vote
Send people little notes
Help me write some letters
This time they would be better
We should go and  make some calls
We would break down a few walls
But I knew it was a lie
It did not matter how we tried

[instrumental]

The game it had been rigged
It was working as they planned
and it no longer mattered
Who had the winning hand
The rules were not the same
The game had long been won
We're alone to blame
Our protests were in vain
While we were skipping school
And acting like big fools
While we were making money
And fighting with our wives
They had long been planning
How to take over our lives

[instrumental]

Go out and get the vote
Send people little notes
Help me write some letters
This time they would be better
We should go and  make some calls
We would break down a few walls
But I knew it was a lie
It did not matter how we tried

It did not matter how we tried

It did not matter how we tried

[outro]



The Winning Hand (1)

[Verse 1]
I’ve seen the edge, I’ve kissed the fall,
Woke up surprised to feel it all.
Life’s a dance, a clumsy reel,
You trip, you laugh, you hurt, you heal.

[Prechorus]
I’ve got a pocketful of second chances,
And a scar that sings when the sunlight dances.

[Chorus]
Twice I said goodbye, but I’m still here,
With a joke on my lips and a heart sincere.
Raise a glass, don’t let it wait,
The clock don’t care if you’re early or late.

[Verse 2]
I once got mad at a traffic jam,
Now I thank it for where I am.
Lost my keys, thought the world might end,
Turns out I just found a new way in.

[Prechorus]
I’ve got a story in every line,
And a laugh that echoes through space and time.

[Chorus]
Twice I said goodbye, but I’m still here,
With a joke on my lips and a heart sincere.
Raise a glass, don’t let it wait,
The clock don’t care if you’re early or late.

[Verse]
I wish that life, could be lived again
It’s not a forever thing, it sure will end
Praise and toast, those you know and love
You’ll see them again, believe in up above

[Chorus] 

Twice I said goodbye, but I’m still here,
With a joke on my lips and a heart sincere.
Raise a glass, don’t let it wait,
The clock don’t care if you’re early or late.
