[Verse] I met a drunk who claimed the sun burns out each night He said the moon’s a witness Holding borrowed light But mornings never asked for any proof or plea They just come on slipping in As steady as the breeze [Chorus] That's how it rolls The dice don’t pick their hands The river bends its will But never breaks for man You can curse the dealer Shake your fist at the sky But life's a wheel that turns No matter how you cry [Verse 2] A sparrow sang to no one Not a soul in sight But still She seemed so certain Like her tune was right I asked her why she bothered Why she'd choose the stage She flinched and said "The song’s the only thing that stays." [Bridge] I’ve known lovers who’ve run like rivers to the sea And old folks holding rocks Saying "This used to be me " There’s a prayer in the rust where the hinges groan A tune in the cracks of an old stepping stone [Chorus] That's how it rolls No map could chart the plan Your feet will wear the leather down as much as they can You can argue with the seasons ‘bout the snow in July But life's a wheel that turns No matter how you try [Verse 3] There’s crops that grow from shadows Weeds that bloom in light A rooster that crows softly when you think it’s night The truth’s a tricky mirror Never straight or clean It tells you who you are inside other folks you've seen
