In the back room

Of the El Mago Casino

Under a portrait of Doris Day

You and I

And a pair of C-notes

Soft candy betting hard eight

Not quite how you laid it out for me

When we split up that night, that night

Coming out of the Sunset Marquise

Before you left to deal the fine white

Is this how you pictured it?

Is this how you thought it would be?

We got right with the mutual problem

That got right between you and me

I told you the girl would be trouble

I said she was going to break us

Leave us lost in the rust and the rubble

Nine exits north of Las Vegas, Vegas

Nine exits north of Las Vegas, Vegas

Nine exits north of Las Vegas
