Its a Cryin Shame
By Michael Rockbrand and Jim Best
Verse 1
Aint it always that way
Lightning flashes like sheets of flame
Just when you think youre ok
Now its a cryin shame
Chorus 1
Here comes the rain, here comes the shame
Here comes that heartache again
Verse 2
Aint it always that way
Youre just a pawn in someones game
All you hads been swept away
Yes its a cryin shame
Chorus 2
And now your world is filled with pain
And now youve got the blues again
Bridge
Theres lots of ways to fight the blues
Get down on your knees and pray
Watch tv till morning comes
Keep a bottle handy night and day
But if you ask a gambler hell tell you
Its just a losing streak, itll end.
So ante up and play another hand
And keep your poker face on, my friend
Verse 3
When the sun starts to shine
When the wheel it starts to turning
When the stars all align
Theres some lessons to be learning:
Chorus 3
Let love and friendship comfort you
Let grace and courage see you through
Coda
Let love and friendship comfort you
Let grace and courage see you through
See you through
