Black Jack

(album: Barely Legal - 1997)

Well I lost my shirt in Vegas
Lost the woman I adored
I was just about to cash in my chips
When I heard the word of the lord
He told me something I remember to this day
He said every day's a brand new day
You don't owe it anything
And with every roll of the game with the dice
Is a whole new game of chance
And now I know just one thing for sure

Way of life, is one big gamble
It Can cut you like a knife
Hit me just once more, Jesus
With the black jack game of lies
The blackjack game of lies

Got a roulette wheel that keeps spinning
With stacks I can't control
Well I bring on the whole jackpot
Well I win without my soul
But now I know I got one thing on my side
There ain't no telling what you've done
What I be throwing at you
but I got Jesus on my side
And the glow in the dark statue

But now I tried enough
He says to me
He says

Way of life, is one big gamble
It can cut you like a knife
Hit me just once more, Jesus
With the black jack game of lies
The blackjack game of lies

Well I lost my shirt in Vegas
Lost the woman I adored
I was just about to cash in my chips
When I heard the word of the lord
He told me something I remember to this day
He said every day's a brand new day
You don't owe it anything
And with every roll of the game with the dice
Is a whole new game of chance
And now I know
Just one thing for sure

Way of life, is one big gamble
It can cut you like a knife
Hit me just once more, Jesus
With the black jack game of lies
The blackjack game of lies
