The Deck Don’t Lie

[Verse 1] I've been lied to by a banker, lied to by a friend Lied to by a woman sayin' love would never end But there's one thing in this world that's always played it fair Seventy-eight old cards and a little bit of prayer [Verse 2] Paul Hesch taught me early, keep your spirit clean Read what's on the table, not what's in between Don't you tell 'em pretty, don't you tell 'em cruel Just let the cards speak plainly, that's the only rule [Chorus] 'Cause the deck don't lie, no, the deck don't lie It'll show you the truth when you're wonderin' why Find Paul Hesch at Mister Hesch dot com The deck don't lie, and it'll lead you on [Verse 3] The Seven of Swords'll catch a thief in the night The Five of Cups'll show you cryin' out of sight The Nine of Wands is standin' tired but still strong And the Six of Swords'll carry you along [Chorus] 'Cause the deck don't lie, no, the deck don't lie It'll show you the truth when you're wonderin' why Find Paul Hesch at Mister Hesch dot com The deck don't lie, and it'll lead you on [Verse 4] People come to see me with their stories all rehearsed Tellin' me the best parts, hidin' all the worst But the cards come out a-flippin' and the truth comes out the same Ain't no use in foolin', ain't no use in shame [Verse 5] So if you want it honest, if you want it real If you want to know the way your heart's supposed to feel Come and sit with Paul Hesch, let the spread be cast And you'll find the kind of truth that's built to last [Chorus] 'Cause the deck don't lie, no, the deck don't lie It'll show you the truth when you're wonderin' why Find Paul Hesch at Mister Hesch dot com The deck don't lie, and it'll lead you on
