Funny How Some Dice Get Rolled

Once you heard a song -- you were on some Texas interstate

You did not catch its name -- but the music really resonated

Deep down in your soul -- but then the station signal faded

And you never ever heard that song again

Once you met someone -- riding on a Greyhound bus

For several hundred miles

And it was like the two of you fell

Way down deep in love

But then you got off in Memphis

And you must have lost that number

And you never ever saw that face again

Chance encounters, snap decisions

Luck and fate and freight train tunnel-visions

Once you had a child

Or at least you nearly had one

But your job was tough

So much work you had to get done

So you let him go

Said goodbye to your unborn son

And these days you often wonder

Who he was and just how different life might be

Ain’t it funny how some dice get rolled

For eternity

Answered prayers yet God forsaken

Getting lost on roads you’ve never taken

Once I heard a song

I did not catch its name

Way down in my soul

Ain’t it funny how some dice

Ain’t it funny how some dice get rolled

For eternity
