lyrics

He's been known to play some cards
To take a risk and let it ride
But she's not worried about his heart
Always makes it home at night

Here and there a couple hundred
Cross his fingers and roll the dice
Won a few and lost some others
Still he wakes up by her side

In this house love's what really matters
And in this house every prayer gets answered
Sometimes he's gone so long
And she don't know where he's been
But he always makes it home
The house always wins

Well she had dreams of making movies
Seein' her face on a silver screen
He don't try to cage her beauty
Nothin' wrong with havin' dreams

One time she left him for the summer
Needed time to sort things out
She bet it all and they discovered
That the odds are on this house

Sometimes she's gone so long
And he don't know where she's been
But she always makes it home
The house always wins
Yeah they always make it home
He loves her and she loves him
The house always wins
