Verse 1: Morgan Wallen
I got a million questions, like, “Why the hell can’t heaven be on Earth?”
“Why the good folks have to hurt?”
“Why’s life a lesson? Why does every single blessing have a curse?”
“Why does love take so much work?”
Pre-Chorus: Morgan Wallen
And why does mom and daddy’s hair have to turn grey
I guess everyone’s got reasons why their shoulders carry weight
Chorus: Morgan Wallen
There’s been a few days I’ve ’bout folded
But I found one more card to play
Been a few days I was hopeless
And I’d be damned if I threw in this
Guess that’s life and I remind myself to spend more time
Talkin’ to the dealer than worryin’ about the hands I’m dealt
Verse 2: ERNEST
It sure feels like life would be better
If parts like mine would never wind up broke
It ain’t how many stories go
I won’t lie, I’m tired of walkin’ through this fire and brimestone stone world we all call home
Pre-Chorus: ERNEST
But I’m, I’m still sittin’ at the table makin’ bets
Bettin’ that some better times are comin’ up ahead, yeah
Chorus: ERNEST
There’s been a few days I’ve ’bout folded
But I found one more card to play
Been a few days I was hopeless
And I’d be damned if I threw in this
Guess that’s life and I remind myself to spend more time
Talkin’ to the dealer than worryin’ about the hands I’m dealt
The hands I’m dealt
Bridge: Morgan Wallen
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
Chorus: Morgan Wallen, ERNEST
There’s been a few days I’ve ’bout folded
But I found one more card to play
Been a few days I was hopeless
And I’d be damned if I threw in this
I guess that’s life and I remind myself to spend more time
Talkin’ to the dealer than worryin’ about the hands I’m dealt
The hands I’m dealt
