Jacks and Aces

Текст песни

[Verse 1] Wouldn’t wanna be on my deathbed Wondering what I never dared to try I’ve walked the roads they said were closed off Kept my own name when the odds ran high [Pre-Chorus] No borrowed crown, no easy pass I built my nerve to make it last [Chorus] Wouldn’t wanna be on my deathbed With no untrodden places in my hands Can’t fuck with me if you’re basic My life’s full of jacks and aces I bet it all on what I am No small plan, no second chance Can’t fuck with me if you’re basic My life’s full of jacks and aces [Verse 2] I took the long way past the county line Rain on my coat, dirt on my shoes Every closed door gave me a reason Every hard no gave me something to prove I don’t need a room to call me chosen I know the work that got me here I’ve got a pocket full of hard-won lessons And a steady hand that doesn’t shake with fear [Pre-Chorus] No borrowed crown, no easy pass I built my nerve to make it last [Chorus] Wouldn’t wanna be on my deathbed With no untrodden places in my hands Can’t fuck with me if you’re basic My life’s full of jacks and aces I bet it all on what I am No small plan, no second chance Can’t fuck with me if you’re basic My life’s full of jacks and aces [Bridge] If the last page finds me moving Let it find me mid-stride With a map folded in my jacket And the whole wide world outside I won’t trade the road for comfort I won’t shrink to fit a frame When they ask what I was made of Let the miles answer my name [Final Chorus] Wouldn’t wanna be on my deathbed With no untrodden places in my hands Can’t fuck with me if you’re basic My life’s full of jacks and aces I bet it all on what I am No small plan, no second chance Can’t fuck with me if you’re basic My life’s full of jacks and aces [Outro] Jacks and aces Still in motion, still making plans
