"This Life" lyrics

Big ideas have you running places
Neon lights, they seem to call you
Roll of dice, way those numbers add
You'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 twenty-one
You gamble on me
(You gamble on me, it's a game for only
You and me, let's take a chance, ready for this night)

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 told
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 twenty-one
You gamble on me
(You gamble on me, it's a game for only
You and me, let's take a chance, ready for this night)

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 twenty-one
You gamble on me
(You gamble on me, it's a game for only
You and me, let's take a chance, ready for this night)

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)
Tonight (tonight)
Gonna play all the chips, aim for twenty-one
You gamble on me
(You gamble on me, it's a game for only...)
