[Verse]

The cards are laid out on the table,

Whiskey's pouring, tellin' fables,

Helena's gone, left a note,

Said she had to find a different road.

[Verse 2]

Just me and ol' Blue, my loyal hound,

In this empty house, ain't no sound,

The poker chips, they stack so high,

But without her love, I'm just gettin' by.

[Chorus]

Deal me in, I need distraction,

Since she left, there's been no reaction,

Win or lose, it's all the same,

Helena's gone, and I'm to blame.

[Verse 3]

Every card I draw, I see her face,

King of hearts, a lonely ace,

She took my dreams, out the door,

Left my heart scattered on the floor.

[Verse 4]

Blue gives a whimper, lays by my side,

He's the only one who won't ever hide,

Through the pain, he's my only friend,

Together we'll face this bitter end.

[Chorus]

Deal me in, I need distraction,

Since she left, there's been no reaction,

Win or lose, it's all the same,

Helena's gone, and I'm to blame.
