lyrics

It’s All Just a Game – words and music by Ryan Sheeler

Angry faces say so much
weathered hands they cannot hide
the scars inside of all these men
Living from underneath their pride

Yesterday’s dinner one more time
The cards come out to play
Who’s gonna win it all tonight
before its “lights out” again?

CHORUS
It’s all just a game
Night turns into mornin’
Before it all starts again

Lay ‘em down one more time
See which falls, black or red
Don’t you know its all a game

…Goin on inside your head?...

VERSE 2
Spades, diamonds, clubs and hearts
Trump each other when the medic calls
Time to take the nightly poison
And wait to see one fall

Redemption flickers on the small screen
As the bible study meets on Thursdays
Saving souls lockin’ them inside
And watching the cards they play

c. 2011 Ryan Sheeler/Highway 30 Music (ASCAP)
