Blackjack (Lyrics)

ong from the "Stand Up" sessions. Debuted in 2010 and has been played on various occasions since. There are no official lyrics for this song and parts have been sketchy due to Dave's scatting. The chorus has primarily stayed consistent through-out each performance. 

Lyrics from 08/28/10

I'm betting my life on you, 
I will wear the stars and the moon, 
I will bet the world on you 

What, you got the time? 
I say, say, 
Thinking my mind, 
Never, never going to lose my way, 
Oh, you live in the day, day, day, day, 
Looking for, looking for your 
Oh, your love, love, 
To pray, pray, pray, 
Never give up, never give up 
On your love, love, 
Babe, babe, babe, because I 

I got to go, I got to go, 
Got the place you just need, 
Got the thing that make you feel like you're a king, 
I got the things that you want to be, 
Just give me your, give me your money, baby, 
I take you there 

You don't give up 
You don't give up, 
You don't survive, give up, 
You don't give up, 
You don't survive black jack, 
You don't give up, 
You don't survive black jack, 
I've you got you in my 

I know the thing you need, 
That you don't know that you do, 
I tell you what, I'll give you some, 
Then it come back and get the groove, the groove, 
Roll up, roll up, I feel you 
Good time, good time, 
You get the water 

You don't give up 
You don't give up, 
You don't survive, give up, 
You don't give up, 
You don't survive black jack, 
You don't give up, 
You don't survive black jack, 
I've you got you in my hand 

I'm going to lay the world straight on you, baby, 
I'd never seen anything like this before, 
I feel like I'm flying, 
What could I lose? 
What could I lose, baby? 
I feel like I'm flying 

You don't give up 
You don't give up, 
You don't survive, give up, 
You don't give up, 
You don't survive black jack, 
You don't give up, 
You don't survive black jack, 
I've you got you in my hand, yeah 

I saw you coming home, 
The devil saw you, baby, baby, I 
But, tonight you look like some kind of, some kind of, 
Some kind of space alien, baby, 
You know I, it must, it must be something in the tea, 
Must be something in my mind, I say, 
Must be something in the light, 
I see when I shine, when I shine myself on you, 
And all the light in there, 
Oh the Lord 
All the angels came over, 
They spread themselves in front of you there, 
Take it, take it, take it, yeah, 
Yeah, yeah, 
Oh the world, I 
Come on, baby girl, give you love 
I'll take it all, 

Yeah
