[ Featuring Christine Troyer ]
The day I met you began like most stories do
With a time and a place and a hero
I was alone, and a brute, and a warrior too
But now it's so clear that the warrior was you
Your smiles like an anchor that keeps me in bed
And I'll stay up all night thinkin bout what you said
You were rough, you were tumble, some might say a brute
But I was the lion and you were actually kind of cute
And I try and I pray and I play all your games
And all I can get is a hand I can't play
And I know that it's right and I know that it's wrong
With my cards on the table, all I get is this song.
You stay out all night and I come home too late
I don't like your friends baby and I don't like your ways
You treat me like a muse while I'm laying in your bed
When the wind calls you home you'll be traveling again
And I try and I pray and I play all your games
And all I can get is a hand I can't play
And I know that it's right and I know that it's wrong
With my cards on the table, all I get is this song.
My soul is wearing thin
On the bottom of my shoes
I should have stood still
All along it was you
Somebody forgot to do the dishes last night
I don't know why you're apologizing now Sean, you never do them
I've been wearing these socks for 5 days Christine
The whole block knows that buddy
And I try and I pray and I play all your games
And all I can get is a hand I can't play
And I know that it's right and I know that it's wrong
With my cards on the table, all I get is this song.
You're a dream, you're a liar
You're the gas and I'm the fire
You're the tooth that I pull with a door and a wire
And I try and I pray and I play all your games
And all I can get is a hand I can't play
And I know that it's right and I know that it's wrong
With my cards on the table, all I get is this song.
And I know that it's right and I know that it's wrong
With my cards on the table, all I get is this song.
With my cards on the table, all I get is this song.
