Las Vegas Sand

Sharing a counter with Hank and Elvis
Two eggs, coffee and a pack of Pall Malls
Pockets of holes and a sad one to tell,
Of a fistful of Las Vegas sand
A fistful of Las Vegas sand

Red queens and jokers in all the wrong places
Four in the morning only dealers have aces
Sunrise a new house is off to the races
For a fistful of Las Vegas sand
For a fistful of Las Vegas sand

Bridge:
The lines on each face tell a story to make a man cry, cry again
It's all just a game and lucky's her name and she'll break your heart again
and again

Stirring a glass of the bitterest cheer
Down to your last and a single tear
Fighting the urges to head back in there
With a fistful of Las Vegas sand
With a fistful of Las Vegas sand

Repeat Bridge

Running away from that bright lighted curse
Stopping for gas and a little rebirth
She's looking at you for all that your worth
Just a fistful of Las Vegas sand
A fistful of Las Vegas sand
