Luck of the Draw
I roll the dice one more time
One more poker card I ask.
I search for one last dime
Train my face to be a mask.
Luck be a lady tonight
Sinatra singing in my mind.
I clutch the rabbit foot real tight,
Love and happiness I will find.
For life's a roller coaster ride
A simple game of craps,
And just who will decide
Which roads and which maps?
Yet when the final game I play
And I tally up the final score,
King of hearts was not meant to stay
Ace of spades just wiped the floor.
Regretfully I fold my hand
I walk away with a sigh.
Love may be very grand
But the stakes were just too high.
