[Verse 1]
The group of men sat at the table
Fingers rigid on the cards
In their hands my fate was fabled
Bellied up now to the bar
Bluffing just to get a word in
Choke on the smoke of the cigar
So I showed a little too much heart
Said that’s the shape of my new scar
[Chorus]
I’ve got other cards to play
I’ve got other cards to play
So I’m walkin' away
[Verse 2]
Living in some kind of stupor
Wonderin' if I played it wrong
Would some different kind of future
Be the place that I belong?
Tangled up in roots of regret
I got growin' round the room
Need a spadе to dig up now
Joker played me likе a fool
[Chorus]
I’ve got other cards to play
I’ve got other cards to play
So I’m walkin' away
[Bridge]
Tricksters, hustlers
Betting all my luck, sir
Knuckle down, trickle down
Full house on the fence, girl
In my own defense
I swore that I was
Givin' you the right one
Even though it felt wrong
And if that’s the beauty
When will I see?
Kings and and queens
Got nothing on me
Back where I started
What I always wanted
Stuck up my sleeve
So let it be
[Chorus]
I’ve got other cards to play
I’ve got other cards to play
I’ve got other cards to play
So I’m walkin' away
