Jack of Diamonds
The Jack of Diamonds and the Queen of Hearts Hit the road and hit the dark Hit the brakes and tried to park But they slid off in a ditch
They played the game while the elevator ran Down the shaft to the promised land Hit the ground with a heavy hand The conductor flipped a switch
So the devil he came back on the prowl Low and steady with a heavy growl Slowly growing darker now There's a rapping at the door
It's four ones with an ace of cups Somehow that just don't add up Sorry fellas lots of luck Can't feel that anymore
I called out to my captain I said, 'Sir, I've gone a stray Am I too far gone to come back now?' He said, 'No, son, I'll meet you halfway' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Well a couple things I've come to know The good times come, they'll surely go Liquor's like a torpedo It tangles as it tears
It slammed into my sinking ship Wrapped his self in barb-wire fence Wiped down and cleaned the fingerprints But drunks had moved the chair
The lazy, burning, turning lanes Low and looming hurricanes Twisting up the weathervanes In the path of least resistance
So I crossed to road way up on high For a love I cannot deny With a weathered brow and my crooked eye Stared off in the distance
