    Lyrics
    Jack of Spades
    Written by Ed Taylor

    Jack of Spades
    Won me a game
    About an hour ago
    Ive got a pocket full of money
    But nowhere to go

    Its pretty late
    And it must be fate
    That Im all alone
    Just the crickets outside
    Singing their nightly song

    But than the rain begins fall
    But theres no clouds in the sky at all
    Stars shine like diamonds in the night
    Than that light hits my eyes
    It hits my eyes
    Light hits my eyes

    Have you ever had that moment of truth,
    That makes things so clear
    Whats life about anyway
    Except for what we hold dear

    Well that money in my pocket
    You, take it my friend
    I dont know when Ill be needing it
    Or when Ill be back again

    But than the rain begins fall
    But theres no clouds in the sky at all
    Stars shine like diamonds in the night
    Than that light hits my eyes
    It hits my eyes
    Light hits my eyes

    Many things did I enjoy
    During my stay
    The enchanting smell of a flower
    On a warm summers day

    Its time to pack my bags
    My work here is done
    Ive got one last trip to make
    Than its time to run

    But than the rain begins fall
    But theres no clouds in the sky at all
    Stars shine like diamonds in the night
    Than that light hits my eyes
    It hits my eyes
    Light hits my eyes

    Ive got to fly
    Time to catch my ride
    One last goodbye
    And goodnight-
