The Joker's Hand

Music: Jacob Dinesen/Allan Taylor Jacob: I came through from Denmark, On the road to who knows where. With a cheap guitar and creasy dreams, I didn't ever care. I buzzed my way across Europe maybe singing in the street cafés. I sleep anywhere, I can lay my head And move on through the days Allan: From the downtown bars of brothels to the red lights of Amsterdam I sold my soul to late-night drinkers. No one gave a damn. I sang in their bordellos and loving came for free. Times were tough but I tough it out, And girls took pity on me. Jacob&Allan: The road is straight, and the road is true It will break you if it can Don’t try to understand Fate can play in the joker’s hand Jacob: Then I meet Ben Hamperk somewhere on the river bond I went to bar and check it out And that's when I met the man. He was sing from the corner And playing a low guitar That’s when I started to thinking What’s you doing in this lousy bar Allan：Come on take the load off Son, Sit with me a while I can see it in your tired eyes You have been traveling many a miles Stay away from these low-life bars It’s not the where you wanna be You can't get back when you get this low. I will give you advice for free. Jacob & Allan：The road is straight, and the road is true It will break you if it can Don’t try to understand Fate can play in the joker’s hand Jacob：I left city and bar And found a place to stay I design learn to listen From what he had to say sometimes when I think of him his words come to bringing me through and everything he said to me turned out to be true Jacob & Allan：The road is straight, and the road is true It will break you if it can Don’t try to understand Oh the road is straight, and the road is true It will break you if it can Don’t try to understand Fate can play in the joker’s hand
