Brian Brooks - This Side of the Sun
lyrics
Optimistically speaking
You could say the odds are a million to one
Of you and me ever winning
When all is said and done
I don't mean to seem downhearted
Nor do I want to spoil the fun
But there's no way the two of us could stay
On this side of the sun

All the bets that we were placing
When lady luck would never smile
And all the horses we were racing
From the furlong to the mile
Crazy nights in some casino
And all those hands we could have won
Let's try to pick up all the pieces
On this side of the sun

Jack o' Diamonds was a traitor
The Queen of Hearts was but a child
To save the Aces up for later
In the land of Kings and Jokers Wild
Russian Roulette or a round of Poker
Pontoon Blackjack or Twentyone
Losing time and getting broker
On this side of the sun

We can only do what we are able
Before the music starts
Throw our cards on the table
The Ace of Spades or the Jack of Hearts
We don't need to beg or borrow
So let's not go and jump the gun
The time is ours until tomorrow
On this side of the sun
