Jackpot, NV

What good's a feeling you never remember?
At home in your heart then it leaves like a renter
Back to the start when you're not a beginner
Is God still surprised all his children are sinners?

When I first met you I was in love with a fixture
Of life in my past, yeah I thought I could fix her
In my attempts you became what I risked for
A memory to kill all I'd ever exist for

Took a pill
For the drive
Through the hills
Through the night
I would kill
For the light
Burning through the passenger side
And until
All this time
Leads me home to what's left behind
Hit the jackpot waving goodbye

Boxing the shadows of moonlight's ending
It's a city of saints if you're good at pretending
Sidetracked with some of the thoughts you're intending
That made me a mess in the middle of mending

Then I pictured you standing among all the jackets
Of men at the slots triple 7s are flashing
You're spinnin' in red while they're hoping that black hits
My mind's motion pictures and babe, you're the actress

Took a pill
For the drive
Through the hills
Through the night
I would kill
For the light
Burning through the passenger side
And until
All this time
Leads me home to what's left behind
Hit the jackpot waving goodbye
Hit the jackpot waving goodbye

I wanna die on this desert highway
Pull to the side like my childhood driveway
Rest in your arms still as stars in the night lay
And kiss you goodbye as the dawn's early light breaks
