  • Yeah, I'm a turner
    I turn pages all the time
    Don't like where I'm at, 34 was bad
    So I just turn to 35

    Yeah, I'm a keeper
    I keep digging down for the deep
    Like the records I'm playing
    They might keep you waiting
    But you know I'm gonna play 'em for keeps

    And if the house just keeps on winning
    I got a wildcard up my sleeve
    And if love keeps giving me lemons
    I'll just mix 'em in my drink
    And if the whole wide world stops singing
    And all the stars go dark
    I'll keep a light on in my soul
    Keep a bluebird in my heart

    Well, I'm a giver
    Yeah, and I'm still giving 'em hell
    Forgiving's pretty hard
    So I made an art out of forgettin' 'em well

    Yeah, I'm a rhymer
    I can turn twenty cents into a ten
    And if I get confused, and I start to lose
    I rhyme a dime 'til it all makes sense

    And if the house just keeps on winning
    I got a wildcard up my sleeve
    And if love keeps giving me lemons
    I'll just mix 'em in my drink
    And if the whole wide world stops singing
    And all the stars go dark
    I turn the light on in my soul
    And keep a bluebird in my heart

    Ooh, ooh

    And if the house just keeps on winning
    I got a wildcard up my sleeve
    And if love starts giving me lemons
    Just mix 'em in my drink
    And if the whole wide world stops singing
    And all the stars go dark
    I'll keep the light on in my soul
    Keep a bluebird in my heart

    I'll keep a light on in my soul
    Keep a bluebird in my heart
    Keep a bluebird in my heart
    Ooh
    And the bluebird sings
    Ooh Writer/s: Luke Dick, Miranda Lambert, Natalie Hemby

Instead of dread, I didn't turn my van around because you reminded me that I AM strong. Bluebird is gonna get me through it all. You're songs empower me. Hey, girl! Many thanks!
