Cash in your blue chips Ride to the station Get on a bus that's heading south... south... Cash in your favors You ain't got many The friends who lie for you are few... so few... And god bless the one traveling alone She hasn't got a partner And you see her by herself and go and talk to her Oh Jack of Diamonds It's been a long time coming You stayed away all night again... all night... Cash in your white chips They can buy plenty Enough to turn your tale around... ooooooh... And god bless the one who knows when he's wrong But never changes And you'll love her like a queen until you're tired Oh Jack of Diamonds It's been a long time coming You stayed away all night again... all night... all night again... And god bless the one who knows when he's done He's a bitter stranger And she'll see you walk her way and now she's on to you Ooh Jack of Diamonds It's been a long time coming Oh Jack of Diamonds its been a long time coming, a long time coming...
