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
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, uuuuuhuuh
Life's a gamble, gotta play the cards you're handed.
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?
