Call My Bluff

“Call My Bluff is a story of a hard times character feeling trapped in their situation but still trying to do better/be better. Somebody that recognizes their own struggle and accepts it, while acknowledging the need for more out of life than just toiling away. Someone that can be vulnerable and ok with it.” -Jake Stilson

Call My Bluff’ - Lyrics

Those big ole dreams in this little old town

Three kids later came crashing on down

With the lot rent due and the gas bill too

I need a miracle to survive this week

Twenty-two years on the same old grind

Only four days a week but it’s 9 to 9

You gotta do what you gotta do to get by

And I’d need a miracle to survive this week

Meaning well and such ain’t ever the stuff

That makes one dear to us

You know how the road to hell gets paved

And you know how to call my bluff

Call my bluff

I need to take a little time for myself this year

Go fishin’ plant a garden or maybe even brew my own beer

Ya I need a little bit of time for myself this year

And I need this weekend to take me away from here

Take me away

Lord knows I been tryin’ real hard

Building my credit, even got me a car

I don’t blow my paychecks on nights in the bar

But I’ll need a miracle to survive this week

Meaning well and such ain’t ever the stuff

That makes one dear to us

You know how the road to hell gets paved

And you know how to call my bluff

Call my bluff
