Best Playing Card

It was raining, and I was all alone.
Wondering if I'd ever find my way back home.
To the southern states where sunshine fills my lungs, and the girls are all dressed up to have some fun.
She grew up in a small town, 'round the bend.
Where her hopes and dreams had grown since she was ten.
Now she's living in the city keeping guard.
Trying to keep all of her love inside her heart.
But there's one thing that I never told you, darling.
That I was waiting long, and waiting hard.
And when push comes to shove, I guess we were in love.
But the joker is your best playing card.
She's leaving me, I swear.
And I'll contend, that the future of my fate is wearing thin.
And my hopes are filled with bags of broken glass.
I guess one day that my mind will be free at last.
But there's one thing that I never told you, darling.
That I was waiting long, and waiting hard.
And when push comes to shove, I guess we were in love.
But the joker is your best playing card.
Cause I could live without you, if you'd leave me all alone.
But you choose to come around, and hit up my phone.
So would you say it's my fault?
Or have I settled for a whore?
Trust me now, I'm not a liar.
You can step right through my door.
There's one thing that I never told you, darling.
That I was waiting long, and waiting hard.
And when push comes to shove, I guess we were in love.
But the joker is your best playing card.
