Hives The Black Jack Lyrics

Black Jack Lyrics

Well I lost my shirt in vegas 

Lost the woman I adored 

I was just about to cash in my chips 

When I heard the word of the lord 

He told me something I remember to this day 

He said everyday's a Broderick? 

You don't owe it anything 

And with every roll of the game with the dice 

Is a whole new game of chance 

And now I know 

Just one thing for sure 

Way of life 

Is one big gamble 

It Can cut you 

like a knife 

Hit me just 

Once more, jesus 

With the black jack 

game of lies 



The blackjack game of lies 



Got a rulete wheel that keeps spinning 

With stacks I can't control 

Well I bring on the whole jackpot 

Well I win without my soul 



But now I know i got one thing on my side 

There ain't no telling what you've done 

What I be throwin at you 

but I got jesus on my side 

And the glow in the dark statue 



But now I tried enough 

He says to me 

He says 



(Go back to that way of life part) 



[First verse repeated]

[Chorus repeated]
