Words of advice on making bad choices with fingerpicked 12-string guitar

Lyrics

(verse 1) Billy won the football pool, thought he was on a roll, Bought the bar a couple rounds, & kinda lost control, Did a couple a shots o' Jack, left a twenty on the bar Out the door, jumped on the Harley, but he didn't get too far. (Chorus) When the cards are on the table, ain't nothing left to say, You can choose to fold or play, you can choose to raise or stay, You can choose what to discard, and choose what to keep, But when the cards are on the table it's read 'em and weep. (verse 2) Susan married the man of her dreams, fulfilled her every need, He worked hard, came straight home, success was guaranteed, But she met a guy with a Brad Pitt smile, played drums in a band, She gambled all that happiness on a one-night stand. (chorus)
