House of Cards

Copyright 2009 Colin Ward

Chorus

Three women, living in a house of cards,
A wife, her mom and a teenage daughter,
A man puts in the hours, working so hard,
Trying to do everything he ought to,
Three women, living in a house of cards


V1

She tries to spend her way to happiness,
With an ego like a hot air balloon,
He tries so hard to fight off loneliness,
Time is running out, he'll do something soon,
Three women, living in a house of cards


V2

Grandma is hard to have around,
She never liked him from the very start,
Daughter's become a handful,
Surely she was born without a heart,
Three women, living in a house of cards


Chorus

Bridge

He dreams of islands and sailing far away,
He dreams of being in a rodeo,
He works so hard, but feels no love or joy,
One day they looked up to see him go
