Laying low in Eli, Nevadanon the loneliest highway just west of Utahnit has started to snow, I got a room for the nightnnI put a fiver in the slot, I took a shotnand then on came the lightsnbars of four came up twicenand a double super bonus, yeahntwice was nice, you knownI couldn’t believe itnI didn’t even know how much it wasnBut it must’ve been the light, I hit the jackpotnI mean that whole place was abuzznnI’ve always been just a scratch off ticketntill I win another ticketnto play then come up empty nand I throw that thing awaynyou know I tossed it on the floor like I was borednbut it was worth a shot to playnnI’ve seen no luck in old Beloxinyou know I lost hundreds and hundreds worth of twentiesnbut at the hotel Nevada everything changednI bought drinks for the housenA King’s sweet with a couchnI mean the whole scene was a little weird and strangennThe night went on and I got loaded, you knownwhen you’re loaded it’s too easy to get loadedndon’t you know what I meannI’m talking loot cakes of cashnmy casino cup was full, I had controlnbut it was a drastic contrastnnI met this girl, blue eye shadownbleach blonde hair, silver sparkly stilettonshe’s a drag strip dreamna real card playing queennbut I could tell she’d come to scamnwith all her phony glitz and glamnbut she damned my conscious streamnnThis girl she was much like a slot machinenlowest odds you can’t win off some card playing queennbut I let it rollnI wanted a golden egg from this sparrownand then the pot bellied waitress said “here’s a free shot, you should take this”nand my sights got a little narrownI got sleepy she’d say “come on honey let’s go upstairs before you lose the rest of your money”nbesides, you might get a little lucky with this card playing queennmy head was spinning like a roulette wheel with weighted dice, the loaded feelnbut I was cooking up my own schemenso off to bed I go with a girl I don’t even knownYeah I roll, roll, roll through the sheets we did rollnnI woke up to an empty casino cupnred lipstick on the mirrornread “a sucker was sucked”nso I made some coffeentried to reevaluate my luckncard playing queen departed, so I’m back to where I startednbut she was kind enough, she was woman enough, she’s good enoughnto leave my five bucksn
