Little Jenny's lost her soul on this cold, cold road
She was trading body parts for money but all that glitters ain't gold
Nobody cared enough to teach her right from wrong

So this life is the only life she knows

It was a he'll of a ride
But all good things must end
Night after night
A new man in her bed
Till faith decide
The darkness...
Now little Jenny's crying
And nobody can help

There's only one life to live
Don't take it for granted
Things look bleak from here
It's not the way you planned it
Is there any way out for me?
I can hear you asking
Life's a gamble, gotta play the cards you're handed

Uuh, uuh, uuuuuh, uuh uuuuuh, uuh uuuuuh, uuh uuuuuh
Heh

Jake went to school on the road
Learned about the game and the coach
Rolling with the nine's and the o's
Try'na get that money
Dreaming bout the cars and the clothes
Try'na reach the top on his own
Seventeen
Hardly grown
He don't need nobody

It was a he'll of a ride
But all good things must end
Night after night
The street call him begging
Till faith decide
The doctor says he hurt
Jake's mom is crying
She knew how this would end

There's only one life to live
Don't take it for granted
Things look bleak from here
It's not the way you planned it
Is there any way out for me?
I can hear you asking
Life's a gamble, gotta play the cards you're handed
Heeh

Uuh, uuh, uuuuuh, uuh uuuuuh, uuh uuuuuh, uuh uuuuuh
Uuh, uuh, uuuuuh, uuh uuuuuh, uuh uuuuuh, uuh uuuuuh

Life's a gamble, gotta play the cards you're handed
Heeh
Uhm

Heh

Heeh

There's only one life to live
Don't take it for granted
Things look bleak from here
It's not the way you planned it
Is there any way out for me?
I can hear you asking
Life's a gamble, gotta play the cards you're handed

Eh. hmm
