Lyrics
Throw your cards down baby
Place your bets
Gonna be a while
So enjoy the rest
Go ahead , keep the lamps down low
No sense in looking
Ain’t no one gonna know
Count your blessings
And leave regrets
There’s only time for one more cigarette
It’s only temporary
Between time and space
So, Keep your jokers wild
and show your face
Lovers toss the hearts
And jokers love their queens
Could've been better looking
But baby I ain't mean
So open your eyes baby
I'm standing right here
Better take a look before
I disappear...
Cash out your tickets honey
The sunshine’s peeking through
Doors unlocked now
And the lamps glowing blue
It’s only temporary
Between time and space
So, Keep your jokers wild
and show your face
Lovers toss the hearts
And jokers love their queens
Could've been better looking
But baby I ain't mean
So open your eyes baby
I'm standing right here
Better take a look before
I disappear...
Suns high now baby
And we’re coming down
Trade that cash for tickets
And let’s blow this town
Time to get going now
Or so they say
Ain’t no cage for this bird
So let’s fly away
Keep your jokers wild
And hold onto your seat
Denial ain’t a river baby
Nor is deceit
