Leaving Vegas

 
Lucked out in Vegas  
by the railroad track  
lucked out in Vegas  
one day I'll be back  
one time I'll win
I just know  
 
I may gamble my blood  
before I relent  
but one day back I will go  
 
When lady luck smiles  
I can't throw in my hand  
though it's sure a long walk  
cross Nevada's hot sands  
gotta grab me  
one last throw  
 
It's hot on the tables  
and hard on the girls  
when you win  
you're in love with  
the gambling world
where you grin like a king  
before losing your shirt  
 
I may gamble my blood  
before I relent  
and my money's all spent  
but one time back I will go  
 
Lucked out in Vegas
by the railroad track
waiting to leave
this cardboard shack  
but one day soon
I know I'll be back
One day I'll win
I just know
