Vegas

There was rumors of a place where nothing goes to waste
Where the free chase the breeze through the sun
Where the waters dance ballets and the daughters have their days
Gin rivers and pools of bourbon

So soon as I heard I sold off to make my run
My life was one bag and my thumb
Headed for the horizon I sat back for the ride
And when I got there, the rule was only one

If you can't pay, you can't play
If you don't play, you can't stay

It don't pay to be careful and nothing good comes free
The truth is a tooth with no gum
The minute I arrived, I turned fifty into five
Before I even tasted what I drunk

And before the hour as through I was down to just my dust
And of that, there wasn't even much
And staring down that ace was a shotgun to the face
And it turned like a slug in my guts

Now I can't play, cuz I can't pay
Since I can't play, I can't stay

My feet are pointed East, they're all laughing after me
I thought I was in love, but I'm dumb
I know it's time to leave with just my wrist under my sleeve
But I wish that I never did come

Now I won't stay, cuz I can't pay
And I can't play, cuz I can't pay
So I won't stay
