Feeding slot machines
drinking free drinks, we struck up a conversation
Said, "This town really ain't my kind of thing
but it's great if you got time needs wasting"
And before I knew what I was getting into
we were off to the races
Yeah, three short days flew by in a haze
But that weekend still ain't fading

That's what happens
when what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas
Yeah, you play to win but you lose
and then she's the only thing you can think of
Yeah, you bet it all, but your ace don't fall
the bank ain't all that's breaking
But that's what happens
when what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas

Yeah, that Southwest plane
just wouldn't run late in spite of all my praying
And I like to think she was a second away
from turning around and staying
Yeah, that TV screen still tortures me
those commercials they're always playing
That's how they get you to go
but what do they know? They ought to change that saying

That's what happens
when what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas
Yeah, you play to win
but you lose and then she's the only thing you can think of
Yeah, you bet it all, but your ace don't fall
the bank ain't all that's breaking
But that's what happens
when what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas

Yeah, you bet it all
but your ace don't fall, the bank ain't all that's breaking
But that's what happens
when what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas
Yeah, when Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas
