The Winning Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some luck you only find one time Beneath the bright casino lights A young sailor far from home On a California night You dealt the cards, I slipped my number And when you called, the world felt right [Chorus] You're the life of every party The brightest light in any room After twenty-five years of dancing I still only dance with you Stacy, you're my comfort, you're my joy Let's keep on dancing, me and you [Verse 2] I said age ain't nothing but a number You just laughed and took my Civic keys Came back to the barracks with fried chicken Papaya salad, sticky rice for me Then you brought me Junior, Shady, Devin Six months later, I said I do [Chorus] You're the life of every party The brightest light in any room After twenty-five years of dancing I still only dance with you Stacy, you're my comfort, you're my joy Let's keep on dancing, me and you [Bridge] Twenty-three years in Navy blue Every deployment, I held on to you Knowing you'd be waiting on that pier Your strength brought me home year after year [Verse 3] Evelyn came in 2004 Then Jessica in 2008 Five children raised, four grandbabies Now it's you and me and Hiro by the gate So let's go cruising round the world Writing new stories, me and my girl [Chorus] You're the life of every party The brightest light in any room Round the world and back together I'll still only dance with you Stacy, you're my comfort, you're my joy Here's to forever, me and you [Outro] Some luck you only find one time I found mine at a blackjack stand Twenty-five years, and I'm still holding The winning hand
