One morning last April, I awoke with a very catchy new tune from a dream, a really fun way to come up with a tune! I rushed to my computer and guitar, opened up Band in a Box, and punched in the first verse and chorus. I made up a few lyrics knowing the title would be Nature of the Game, then rushed it to my friends in the UK, Bob and Robert. They were excited about it and we got to work on it.

Words and music by John Walradt, Bob Bentley, Robert Quigley
It all depends on the cards you play
Sometimes you lose and you have to pay
Sometimes you just have to walk away
It's just the nature of the game.
'Cause if your hopes arise and then go bust
Just keep your dreams and shake off the dust
Your luck will change as you know it must
It's just the nature of the game.
Take a gamble on the next song by the band
Walk up and smile, put your future in the palm of her hand.
Country two-step or romantic slow
She might say yes or she might say no
You won’t find out ‘til the lights get low
It's just the nature of the game.
This is a life without guarantees
Can't always get just what you please
Sometimes this world drives you to your knees
It's just the nature of the game.
So leave your drink, give it a go
Get on your feet, let the good vibes flow
She could be your sweetheart, you just don't know
It's just the nature of the game.
So take a gamble on the song that the band will play
Place your bets and your dreams will be on their way
Oh, your dreams are on their way.
Tear up the floor, make sure you catch her eye
Don't miss your chance, don’t let your life go by
You might regret it if you just don't try
It's just the nature of the game, yeah.
It's just the nature of the game
It's just the nature of the game.
