[Verse 1]
Hear the clickin' of the dominoes
Shakin' up a game
If we lose a hand
I bet I'll know just who's to blame
But if we hear "twenty-one"
If we make that call
I bet I'll sit here in my chair
Just feeling ten feet tall

[Verse 2]
Well, we're caught up in the riff-raff
Circlin' 'round the sun
It takes a whole lot of blood and tears
Just to really love someone
But when it comes back around
That's heaven on Earth
You never know 'til the end, my friend
What your love is really worth

[Chorus]
Are you cracking jokes with the common folks?
Are you serving to the well-to-do?
I've traveled 'round and I ain't found nobody quite like you
And is all this livin' meant to be or a happy accident?
In my heart, you pay no rent
Well, in my heart, you pay no rent
[Verse 3]
Hear the crackle of a campfire
You're howlin' at the moon
We all know that you gotta go
But does it have to be so soon?
Bet somebody's yelling "last call"
Hope you get some rest
Hope you found everything that you wanted
In the place you love the best

[Chorus]
Are you crackin' jokes with the common folks?
Are you servin' to the well-to-do?
I've traveled 'round and I ain't found nobody quite like you
And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident?
In my heart, you pay no rent
Well, in my heart, you pay no rent

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Now we're shakin' up the dominoes
Beneath the neon light
Knowing anybody else out there
Couldn't put up a better fight
But the fightin' time's over
It's all gone
You pick up the pieces
And you try to carry on
[Chorus]
Are you crackin' jokes with the common folks?
Are you servin' to the well-to-do?
I've traveled 'round and I ain't found nobody quite like you
And is all this livin' meant to be or a happy accident?
In my heart, you pay no rent
Don't cost you nothin', not a single cent
Time together was time well spent
In my heart, you pay no rent
In my heart, you pay no rent
