38 Special - You Got The Deal

I lived my life one way too long.
Deal me straight, I can't go wrong.
A gambler's fate's in the cards he takes,
And now I know it's just a mistake.

Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
You got the . . .

Left our dreams on a lonely road.
Come back here with a heavy load.
Fight our best when the chips are down.
You go your way, and I'll win this round.

Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.

[LEAD BREAK]

You live your life for the dollar sign.
And all that you've made,
You're just buying time.
But time takes it toll,
It don't care who you are
You know you're marked for life
With your empty heart.

Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.

I don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
