Lyrics

See the gentle way she sips her bourbon
The careful way she holds her cards to her chest
Sophistication with an air of urban
You can picture the rest

I take a seat where I can watch the action
The cards are flying and the betting is high
I glance her way to catch a quick reaction
Her grin tells me to try

Deal me in ‘cause I’m thinking my luck’s gonna change
Deal me in ‘cause the feeling I’m feeling is strange
Been forever since I thought I could win
Come on, man, deal me in

I’ve been walking such a lonesome highway
Ain’t nobody here who knows my name
She could be the one to turn things my way
Get me back in the game

Deal me in ‘cause I’m thinking my luck’s on the rise
Deal me in, I can tell by the look in her eyes
Something good is just about to begin
Come on, man, deal me in

I'd do anything to find someone who needs me
Someone who will chase these blues away
I've decided I will go where my luck leads me
Come on, love, cut those cards, teach me how to play

Instrumental verse

She's on a roll and now the chips are rising
A crowd is gathering and I'm feeling fine
Her ruby lips are looking appetizing
Guess where I hope to dine

Deal me in, there's an ace in the hole with my name
Deal me in, she's the reason that I know I came
Things are better than they ever have been
Come on, man, deal me in

Deal me in 'cause I'm thinking my luck's on the rise
Deal me in, I can tell by the look in her eyes
Something good is just about to begin
Come on man, deal me in
Come on man, deal me in

A good story has resulted in good lyrics. Then the melody and arrangement takes this the rest of the way to the winner's circle. Nice!

This is the third song I'm listening to on your page and again it sounds different, and again what can I say? I love it. It is so effortlessly flowing and so gorgeously sang and played. Very polished sound and very inspiring work. Thank you for your amazing input. Very special!

I like those 7 chords in there. Adds that bit of shine and sophistication that is super cool. I like the cool swagger in this one.

You have the most intriguing “hangouts.” Super cool vibe! Reminds me of “Stray Cat Strut.” Anyway, Iwant to hang out there, too!

Reads like Kenny Rogers influence. Cool! Fab, entertaining write that unfolds western-style yeehaw-like! In song plays like a movie's main track.

As always, flawless lyrics and spot-on music and delivery. I like the variety in your songs; each one has a different feel, yet all are finely done.
