She said, "This town really ain't my kinda thing

And before I knew what I was getting into
We were off to the races
Yeah, three short days flew by in a haze

Yeah, you play to win but you lose and then
She's the only thing you can think of
Yeah, you bet it all, but your ace don't fall (bet your all)

That's what happens when what happens in
Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas

Yeah, that Southwest plane just wouldn't run late

From turnin' around and stayin'
Yeah, that TV screen still tortures me
Those commercials they're always playin'

That's what happens when what happens in (what happens in)
Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas
Yeah, you play to win but you lose and then
She's the only thing you can think of
Yeah, you bet it all, but your ace don't fall (bet your all)
The bank ain't all that's breakin'
But that's what happens when what happens in
Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas

Yeah, you bet it all, but your ace don't fall (bet your all)
The bank ain't all that's breakin'
But that's what happens when what happens in
Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas
Yeah, when Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas
