lady luck - tommy howell lyrics

she has blood red lips
matching finger tips
and fiery auburn hair
steel blue eyes like a forty five
that can k!ll with a simple stare
she leaves a smokey trail
with a big exhale
never pays for a drink
i knew he was doomed
when she entered the room
smiled and gave me a wink
i ordered a crown and looked around
i noticed him startin’ to sweat
it was a quarter to nine and she was right on time
so i continued with my bet
he paused and stared thumbing his pair
waiting for lightning to strike
then things got rough when i called his bluff
much to his dislike

life’s just a game of deceit and lies
poker’s a reflection of life in disguise
there’s nothing wrong with admitting defeat
the lady in red is a tough one to beat
winning ain’t easy, there’s always a surprise
the little lady chooses who lives and who dies

as he sat there, eyes cold and dead
he folded his cards and this is what he said
a smart man knows when it’s time to retreat
it’s something i learned growing up in the street
i’ve played with the devil, i filled him with lead
but nothing haunts me like the lady in red
she’s a heartbreaker son so may i suggest
if you’re playing with her
keep ‘em close to your vest
i watched him leave and gathered my chips
as the lady in red kissed my lips
there was something familiar with the man i just beat
like staring at myself in the face of defeat
his soft spoken words hit like a truck
one day she’d be gone, no more lady luck
my time will run out and she’ll soon disappear
with a gut shot straight and a tear in my beer

life’s just a game of deceit and lies
poker’s a reflection of life in disguise
there’s nothing wrong admitting defeat
the lady in red is a tough one to beat
winning ain’t easy there’s always a surprise
the little lady chooses who lives and who dies

who lives and who dies

break it on down
