Actuación Final:
Letra:
"One ace and one truth
Two ways to go
To question if I go with the flow, yeah
Three kinds of people in the world
With those in the back seat and those who drive
And those who got left behind
I went to four corners of the world
I took the music that I heard
Before long I got a song
I worked 9 to 5 to make it prime
Six strings on my guitar
Six strings took me this far
I started playing when I was seven
I keep on playing them strings (In heaven)
Oh, like a bomb ’cause I was born
When I was nine I wrote a song
I tend to miss about perfection
It’s my curse and my addiction
And my friends, they’re my soldiers
My queen, she makes me sing
And in my deck I am the king
You know, one deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right?
(How to play them right?)
One deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right?
(How am I to play them right?)
Once I got beat up and twice my harm
But always someone third took me to the start again
Four times I’ve moved away
And maybe this time I will stay
Five times I’ve been told
To sell my soul if I want some gold
But six is the beast and seven is God
Eight is sweet, ’cause I want to be free
Nine times out of ten
I’m getting up again
When life gets me down
And there’s no one else around
All your jacks and all your queens
A royal flush of hopes and dreams
Let the dealer deal and you just play
Well, I wouldn’t have it any other way
One deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right?
(How to play them right?)
One deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right?
(How am I to play them right?)
One deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right?
(How to play them right?)
One deck of cards and just one life
(How am I to play them right?)
Oh, one deck of cards and one life
How am I to play them right?
(How to play them right?)
Yeah, I’ve got one deck of cards and one life."
