I got a million questions, like, "Why the hell can't Heaven be on Earth?"
+
"Why do good folks have to hurt?"
+
"Why's life a lesson?"
+
"Why's every single blessin' have a curse?"
+
"Why's love take so much work?"
+
And why does Mom and Daddy's hair have to turn gray?
+
I guess everyone's got reasons why their shoulders carry weight
+
There's been a few days I 'bout folded
+
But I found one more card to play
+
Been a few days, I was hopeless
+
And I'll be damned, I drew an ace
+
Guess that's life and that's why I remind myself
+
To spend more time talkin' to the dealer
+
Than worryin' about the hands I'm dealt
+
Sure feels like life would be better if hearts like mine, they never wound up broke
+
That ain't how most stories go
+
I won't lie, I'm tired of walkin' through this fire and brimstone world we all call home
+
But I'm, I'm still sittin' at the table makin' bets
+
I'm bettin' that some better times are comin' up ahead, yeah
+
There's been a few days I 'bout folded

+
I guess that's life and that's why I remind myself
+
To spend more time talkin' to the dealer
+
Than worryin' about the hands I'm dealt
+
The hands I'm dealt
+
And I used to think you're supposed to pray
+
'Cause it was somethin' that God needs
+
But now I see it's less for him
+
And really more for me
+
There's been a few days I 'bout folded

The hands I'm dealt
