All My Chips Are In - Mick Franklin And Gary Austin

All My Chips Are In - Mick Franklin And Gary Austin
Now there’s just lost yearning
Where once was shining love
I find it hard to reconcile
With the one from up above
It’s like I hold a losing hand
I just can’t play it right
I’m nothing but a Lost soul
In the darkness of the night
[Chorus]
Just a dollar shy of happiness
I’m betting on tomorrow
But I’m really just hopeless drowning in my sorrow
Some people call me useless
I'm not so sure I'll win
I hold no hope for happiness
So all my chips are in
[Bridge]
I’m in the grip of hopelessness
The worlds begun to spin
If I had another dollar
I’d bet on red again
I can tell you one thing
I really know for sure
The only thing that matters
Is that prize behind the door
[Chorus]
Just a dollar shy of happiness
I’m betting on tomorrow
But I’m really just hopeless drowning in my sorrow
Some people call me useless
I'm not so sure I'll win
I hold no hope for happiness
So all my chips are in
[Bridge 2]
That old smart moneys telling me
The odds are really cooked
But I ain’t got a life to spare
It’s like that when you’re hooked
I’ll go ahead and roll them bones
And play them as they lay
And hope like hell they’re sitting fair
And I'll get one more day
[Chorus ]
Just a dollar shy of happiness
I’m betting on tomorrow
But I’m really just hopeless drowning in my sorrow
Some people call me useless
I'm not so sure I'll win
I hold no hope for happiness
So all my chips are in
All my chips are in
