Vegas

I was gamblin man
Had kings and bling in the palm of my hand
The odds were mine
Sittin in high rollers, losin track of time

But the writins on the wall
I left my lady for the poker hall
Takin one more call
My lady left, now I've lost it all

I knew I would lose when I got to Vegas
That desert road brought me no oasis
I thought that if my wallet matched my heart
The jackpot might just be a brand new start

I'll eat the dust
Only bread thats left is the desert crust
I can't sleep in
The lights are too bright in the city of sin
I'm still a gamblin man
Bettin that life might let me stand
The odds are gone
Only thing all mine is the heat of dawn

But I don't feel a breeze
Nothing for my soul to offer relief
I'm missing my grief
Is there anything that can give me reprieve

If I had one friend it might be the mirror
But lookin now it couldnt be much clearer
I can't blame anyone who fled, fled
My eyes are dead and my hand is read
I knew I would lose when I got to Vegas
That desert road brought me no oasis
I thought that if my wallet matched my heart
The jackpot might just be a brand new start

That new start
That new start

But the writins on the wall
I left my lady for the poker hall
Takin one more call
My lady left, now I've lost it all

If I had one friend it might be the mirror
But lookin now it couldn't be much clearer
I can't blame anyone who fled, fled
My eyes are dead and my hand is read
I knew I would lose when I got to Vegas
That desert road brought me no oasis
I thought that if my wallet matched my heart
The jackpot might just be a brand new start
