The House Always Wins Lyrics - This Is Where I Live - William Bell

Once I loved a woman 

Once we shared a name 

But the tide pulled us under 

And now we can't get up again 

Well I wish someone had told me 

You're gonna sink before you swim 

You may take a couple of rounds 

But the house always wins 

I thought our love would last forever 

We would raise a family 

But the cards were dealt against us 

It was never meant to be 

When love walks out and leaves you 

Loneliness steps in 

You make take a couple of rounds 

But the house always wins 

Whoa oh yeah 

When I sat down at the table 

I was a younger man 

I thought I had the whole world 

Wrapped up in my hands 

I wish someone had told me 

You're gonna pay for all your sins 

You can take a couple of rounds 

You can take a couple of rounds 

You may take a couple of rounds 

But the house whoh oh the house always wins
