When my friends come to vegas
They all wanna hit the town
They want to place their wagers
Wanna lay their money down
And they bet it all on black jack
Try to count the cards
I just say good luck boys
I’ll be hanging at the bar
I only gamble with my heart
Lay my cards out on the table
But I never drew the winning cards
Till I bet it all on you
I had a feeling from the start
Against the odds I would be able
To find the queen of hearts
And I went all in on you
Nothing ventured nothing gained
You gotta play to win
But the odds are stacked against you
And the House always wins
Or you can bet it on the Lakers
And pray they beat the spread
Or go a little crazy and put it down on red
Around here they have a hotline
If you’re in over your head
You can call if you’re in trouble
And they’ll talk you off the ledge
All those years that I kept losing
I always kept the faith
And so I just kept trying
I never played it safe
