Devil Dealt The Blues Lyrics - Singles - Jay Gaunt

I am just a poor man, gambling on a dream; 

Waiting for the best hand a hustler's ever seen. 

Been betting on the best deal the masters said cad can't loose; 

Heaven sent me an angel, when the Devil dealt the Blues. 

Daddy died when I was young and Momma raised me well 

She said walk the path your poppa preached to pass the gates of Hell. 

Cocaine & Whiskey near where the things I'd choose; 

Heaven sent me and angel when the Devil dealt the Blues. 

I was broken when my lady left, my child and pride was lost; 

So I faced the world with chips all in, regardless of the cost. 

There ain't no accountant that can tally up my dues; 

Heaven sent me an angel when the Devil dealt the Blues. 

Tried to take the fast road by playin' with my charm; 

Bluffin' easy ladies and feelin' safe from harm. 

Barefoot I'm runnin', scared I found my shoes; 

Heaven sent me an angel, when the Devil dealt the Blues.
