4000 miles to Vegas, baby
The freedom of smelling the night air
hitting our nostrils like we're on top of the world
We're riding free with the top down,
the air flipping back our hair
just a couple lovebirds carrying out their dream
We check into our hotel
oh so elegant
the rooms
fancier then anything we've ever seen
I spent all day at the card tables
losing dollars left and right
all night at the slots
never hitting it big
with a sigh of dispair
i retreat to our room
as i lay beside you
and look in your eyes
even with all the money i've lost
the gambles that failed
as i see into your soul
i know that i've made the best gamble
and won.
I hold you tight, as i feel your warm breath
and your chest go up and down
slowly
as you begin to fall towards slumber
and i remember thinking
"There can never be a better gamble then this"
Baby
I took a gamble when i walked up to you that day
a one in a million chance
i may have lost all our money
but i won when it cames to love
i took the best gamble baby
and i won.
