I've always been a gambler since the day I learned to crawl Ain't afraid to bet on myself, ain't afraid to risk it all I've learned some hardy wisdom, had to dig out of a ditch Ain't the money in one's pocket that makes a man so rich Some draw diamonds, some draw hearts Some draw aces right from the start Some have bad luck that follows a man But I make my own luck and play my hand I wouldn't trade with anyone else Just live this life with the cards I've been dealt The cards I've been dealt Love's always a wildcard A joker in the night Yeah, the queen's a quiet killer If you don't play her right And I didn't play her right Some draw diamonds, some draw hearts Some draw aces right from the start Some have bad luck that follows a man But I make my own luck and play my hand I wouldn't trade with anyone else Just live this life with the cards I've been dealt The cards I've been dealt Some draw diamonds, some draw hearts Some draw aces right from the start Some have bad luck that follows a man But I make my own luck and play my hand I wouldn't trade with anyone else Just live this life with the cards I've been dealt The cards I've been dealt
