This Life

Big ideas have you running places
Neon lights, they seem to call you
Roll of dice, way those numbers addYou′d think that magic had to follow

I believe if I lay myself on the table
Just like an ace of spades needs a queen to win
Will you let me in?
I hope that if I stay
Let the dealer deal what he thinks he knows
It's so close

This life (this life)
When you place a bet, never turning back
You gamble on me (you gamble on me)
It′s a game for only you and me
Let's take a chance, ready for tonight
Tonight (tonight)
Gonna play all the chips, aim for 21
You gamble on me (you gamble on me)
It's a game for only you and me
Let′s take a chance, ready for tonight

Two lane high, way to somewhere far
Where the grass is green and the dust is gold
You a lucky one, how the truth is found
When you chase the stars and you don′t let go

Everything seems to line up
Just right for you each time
So I stand near
Cross my fingers that you got one more game
It all seems clear
How the wind does blow in your direction
I hope it sends me your way

This life (this life)
When you place a bet, never turning back
You gamble on me (you gamble on me)
It's a game for only you and me
Let′s take a chance, ready for tonight
Tonight (tonight)
Gonna play all the chips, aim for 21
You gamble on me (you gamble on me)
It's a game for only you and me
Let′s take a chance, ready for tonight

Got your cards, set them down
Faces up, winning now
Gamble on, gamble on, gamble on me

This life (this life)
When you place a bet, never turning back
You gamble on me (you gamble on me)
It's a game for only you and me
Let′s take a chance, ready for tonight
Tonight (tonight)
Gonna play all the chips, aim for 21
You gamble on me (you gamble on me)
It's a game for only you and me
Let's take a chance, ready for tonight
