[Verse 1]
Every mornin' 'fore the rooster wakes
I light a candle for the seekers' sakes
Kitchen table and a worn-out deck
Lord, guide my hands and keep my heart in check
[Verse 2]
Got a call from a mama down in Tennessee
Her boy's gone wild, won't come to see
I shuffled slow, laid the Six of Cups
Said he's comin' home, don't you give up
[Chorus]
I shuffle and pray, I shuffle and pray
Ask the good Lord to show me the way
Call Paul Hesch, seven-seven-five
Nine-eight-oh, seven-five-seven-five
Mister Hesch dot com any time of day
I'll shuffle and pray
[Verse 3]
Then a trucker called from a Wyoming stop
Said the miles are long and the money's dropped
The Ace of Pentacles jumped right out
Said a new road's comin', there ain't no doubt
[Chorus]
I shuffle and pray, I shuffle and pray
Ask the good Lord to show me the way
Call Paul Hesch, seven-seven-five
Nine-eight-oh, seven-five-seven-five
Mister Hesch dot com any time of day
I'll shuffle and pray
[Verse 4]
I ain't no preacher and I ain't no saint
Just a man with a gift and a little restraint
I tell it gentle and I tell it true
'Cause the cards don't lie and neither do you
[Verse 5]
So when your night is heavy and your prayers run dry
And you can't see the reason, can't see the why
Give me a call, let the cards be laid
And we'll walk through it unafraid
[Chorus]
I shuffle and pray, I shuffle and pray
Ask the good Lord to show me the way
Call Paul Hesch, seven-seven-five
Nine-eight-oh, seven-five-seven-five
Mister Hesch dot com any time of day
I'll shuffle and pray
