[Verse]

John, Helena, Lee 'round the poker table,

Dusty old cards, hands steady and able,

Whiskey breath floating thick in the air,

The stakes of their lives laid bare.

[Verse 2]

John had a farm, but the crops didn't grow,

Tax man knocking, trouble starting to show,

Helena's eyes, full of stories untold,

A heart full of dreams and pockets of gold.

[Chorus]

Around the poker table, where secrets are bets,

Life's heavy burdens folks often forget,

One last card can change all that we see,

A showdown between John, Helena, and Lee.

[Verse 3]

Lee's eyes whispered tales of the unknown,

A rolling stone never calling one place home,

He'd seen deserts, mountains, and towns,

And gambled his way from ups to downs.

[Bridge]

Helena smiled with a secret so deep,

Past full of hardship, dreams she can't keep,

John's worn face yet hopeful and strong,

Believing this hand could right all his wrongs.

[Chorus]

Around the poker table, where secrets are bets,

Life's heavy burdens folks often forget,

One last card can change all that we see,

A showdown between John, Helena, and Lee.
