Just a middle-aged guy who's been carrying song ideas around in his head for years and has decided to learn the craft and hopefully produce something decent eventually
A Chip And A Chair
(c) Southard/ Swartzentruber/ Preston
Brother you'd never know
By lookin' at me now
This gamblin' way of life
Has often drug me down
I've been counted on
Been counted out
When you think you're on the top
It'll quickly turn around
v2
Nobody ever knows
Just how the cards will fall
Sometimes you gotta bet
And pray that he don't call
One hand you're up
Next you lose it all
But you're still in the game
Even when you're pile is small
Chorus:
Cause I've ...got a chip and a chair
Lady Luck don't play fair
But a player must forgive her
And bank on the turn of the river
Bad beats will make you see red
Hope I'm not drawin' dead
I'll always have a prayer
With a chip and a chair
V3
Friend you'll never know
When I saw the fear in your eyes
But I knew the time had come
To lay it all on the line
One of us is going home
One of us will survive
You thought you called a bluff
Now your stack is mine
Repeat Chorus:
Tag:
Yes I'll always have a prayer
With a chip and a chair
Greg, There's your hit! So proud to know you, Letha
