Ricky Van Shelton - From A Jack To A King Lyrics






From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
And walked away with your heart

From a jack to a king
With no regrets I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
And made me king of your heart

For just a little while
I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time
I saw the twinkle in your eye

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
You made me king of your heart

For just a little while
I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time
I saw the twinkle in your eye

From a jack to a king
From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
You made me king of your heart...

  19. S.... D....

    Loved Ned Miller's version until I heard this one.

  20. K.... F....

    I can remember those days I wish country music was like it was way back then🎶🎶🎶💯💯💯💯

  21. n.... c....

    And I have never even got a jack... how on earth I could become a king?

  22. C.... D....

    When I hear this song I think of my 3rd step-dad. He came along when I was 13 and when I saw this big man for the first time I said to myself that I didn't stand a chance against him. i met him and 2 days later my mom married him and so there he was. Six foot or more and his arms were bigger than my waist, but, that saying that the 3rd time is the charm it was right this time. He came in and became my best friend. He saved my life and I mean literally. What more can be said about a man like that. I loved him for 43 yrs. And miss him with all my heart. I love you Daddy Joe

    C.... D....

    So sorry for your loss miss. I married for the 3rd time and she's the one. Sadly in 2005 found out she has cancer. The surgery made her handicapped. But she's still here for me to love
    Rr

  23. E.... M....

    The Voice. Non like it. Wish he would come back

  24. T.... P....

    I used to sing with my dad hank williams jr. And he has taught me so much i love u dad and now i still sing with him sometimes we sing around also peopole love to here me sing

  25. 3.... ....

    Tremendous cover. Nails it on every level.

  26. I.... L....

    When I hear this song I realize that my grandpa and grandma is going to kick the bucked

  27. I.... L....

    When I hear this song I cry because this is my uncle song before he died he died on July 28 and his birthday was yesterday stemper 28 my birthday was stemper 24 I love u uncle Mike

  28. W.... B....

    OLD SONGS WERE GOOD!

  29. a.... m....

    Ricky Van never got as big as he should have, imo. I love his voice and saw him in concert and he should have been bigger than Garth.

  30. T.... B....

    MY grandmother loved this song i miss her so much.

    T.... B....

    I am sorry for lost my uncle died two and thatz was his favorite song 😭

    T.... B....

    sorry to hear that hun.

  31. P.... A....

    This song IS cool!

  32. g.... d....

    Under rated for sure but wonder if maybe he should have done more new material as opposed to much of his stuff which had already been recorded.

  33. C.... J....

    I like Ricky Van Sheltons version better than I do Jack Greene's, they are both good, but this is by far the best version. I had both versions at one time, sometimes you lose very important items when you are forced to move when you are not ready to.God Bless You.

  34. I.... ....

    His voice tho

  35. I.... M....

    Much as I love Ricky Van Shelton (fab voice), I,m more familiar with the original version with Ned Miller so I prefer it.

  36. M.... k....

    in the last 3 hours ive been listening to this...non stop...this guys voice is hypnotic!!..Trouble is ive got work in 30 min time

  37. J.... G....

    Dad ,,, you always played this song on any Juke Box first,, now I am really, . listening to this and see why,, Unbelievable talent right here. RIP Dad.

  38. M.... O....

    Awesome!!

  39. g.... m....

    This is the first song i heard Rick sing. He was making an appearance on the Grand Ole Oprey and sang From a Jack to a King.

  40. a.... h....

  42. P.... F....

    my darling Jackson used to sing this song to me ALL the time. I miss sooo much my darling, but I know you are waiting for me.

  43. W.... F....

    I was once so low I could crawl under a rug and never leave a wrinkle.
    A little blonde girl,, as sick as I was-- and this song,, gave us both hope. King and Queen gave each other hope, we separate, we survived, love on loves terms.

    W.... F....

    I love it

  44. W.... D....

    well I guess there is a NEW COUNTRY singer who can perform a classic country song after all.

  45. M.... M....

    Sadly my father has passed and when I'm down and out missing him this is the song I always turn to. I love you dad and miss you so much.

    M.... M....

    @Mindy McPherson Very lucky Dad...so sorry for your loss. Dad is proud that you remembered him in this manner. The song meant a lot to him, but you meant more....You obviously  made him the King of your heart.......Good for you Mindy.

    @TheMountainman321 today is my dad's birthday and it's coming up on 4 years now of his passing. It doesn't get any easier. I'm 37 and cry like no other when I listen to this song. He always sang it to me with I was little. It was my favorite song.
