and the days are just so many decks.
Ah, the hours are cards they deal,
and you play what you get.
Ah, you think of the times that you knew you could call,
Oh, you think of the times that you got
out when you should have stayed
Deal, hey, maybe the next car tonight
Deal, you ought to go home but you
know that a flush beats a strain
You can't have a full house,
the queen has been dealt to a friend
The good thing about life is they
shuffle and they deal life again
Well the cards are all stacked when
you're hot and the women are too
It's a hard cut to take when you
raise every hand but you do
Well, I'm not complaining,
it ain't like the joker to cry
cause you have to cash in when you die
maybe the next card's an ace
Deal, you ought to go home,
but you know that a flush beats a straight
Honey, you can't have a full house,
the queen has been dealt to a friend
The good thing about life is they
shuffle and they deal life again
