Last Chance At A Life

I’m in a tight place, partner, with nowhere to go… Oh, what am I supposed to do? This pressure’s heavy, crushing my soul – And I just can’t let go… I could turn to the devil I know – He promised me wealth beyond my control… But Daddy said, “The sugar-coated hand hides the thorn” – Is it worth the risk, isn’t my soul worth more than gold? You don’t know what I’m going through… The jury foreman said I’m guilty – Put him away, put him away… Throw away the key, you’ll find no peace… (Pre-Chorus) Why’d these cards turn up this way? I’m all in, got no escape – Just a prayer on the river… Hoping I’ll be saved… (Chorus) Gone are the saints who once had my back – I don’t want to gamble, there’s no turning back… I’ve got to roll the dice – Risk it all tonight – This is my last chance… my last chance at a life… (Bridge) If I fall, will the heavens hear my cry? If I win, will it finally change my life? I’ve been chasing shadows, running blind – But maybe this time, I’ll leave it all behind… (Final Chorus) Gone are the saints who once had my back – I don’t want to gamble, there’s no turning back… I’ve got to roll the dice – Risk it all tonight – This is my last chance… my last chance at a life… (Outro – softly) One roll, one turn, one prayer in the night… Holding on to hope, for my last chance at a life…
