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 Marquis
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
