[Verse 1: Maria Jane Smith]
In a couple of weeks
Your hair will fall to the ground
All that silver and blonde
You saved for so long
And in a couple of months
We're gonna walk through the doors
Inside the hospital walls
Your verdict will fall
[Pre-Chorus: Maria Jane Smith]
But for now, we just keep praying
To a God we try to believe in
And there's a lot of people saying
That it's all 'bout positive thinking
So, I make you drink your vitamins
And we try to keep you laughing
Meditation helps
And have you ever felt
Two hands that practice healing?
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Then we cried, ah ah ah
Wanna ease your pain
But what can I say?
Wanna play a game?
[Chorus: Maria Jane Smith]
And we played Yatzy
All night long
And just like with your life
Wе counted the odds
And the kids wеre laughing
When we let them win
And please have mercy
'Cause they don't know a thing
And we played Yatzy
All night long
And just like with your life
We counted the odds
But one thing is certain
It ain't your time to go
We just need a full house
And five sixes in a row
[Verse 2: Maria Jane Smith]
And I asked you to tell
Is there something you miss?
Tell me what do you wish?
Do you have a bucket list?
You said
You already swam with dolphins
And there's not anywhere you wanna climb
It ain't like missing out on wild things
Is what keeps you up at night
You said all that you want
Are the simplest things
Just for your body to bear
And to stay with your kids
[Pre-Chorus: Maria Jane Smith]
So for now, we just keep praying
To a God we try to believe in
And there's a lot of people saying
That it's all 'bout positive thinking
So I make you drink your vitamins
And we try to keep you laughing
Meditation helps
And have you ever felt
Two hands that practice healing?
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Then we cried, ah ah ah
Wanna ease your pain
But what can I say?
Wanna play a game?
[Chorus: Maria Jane Smith]
And we played Yatzy
All night long
And just like with your life
We counted the odds
And the kids were laughing
When we let them win
And please have mercy
Cause they don't know a thing
And we played Yatzy
All night long
And I've never wished more
Not to write a song
But one thing is certain
This ain't your time to go
We just need a full house
And five sixes in a row
