I wrote this song due to some bad luck I was having at the time. I came up with a story about a guy who has lost it all out in Nevada..."Outskirts of Vegas"
Lyrics
A tight screwed casino Forced me out of Reno With just a few dollars in change Bad cards and bad luck A mugger jacked my truck And left me with nothing but my name I'd heard so many great things about this little town. But no one ever mentioned It'd spit you right back out I'm lost in the desert tonight. I put up one hell of a fight. And lost souls pray, that God's gonna save us...from the outskirts of Vegas. A cold abandoned silo Stuck off of a state road Is where I'll lay my head tonight. Them bright lights from the city. They were awful pretty And they drove me right out of my mind. Black jack and roulette, whiskey and bad bets Are all bound to get me If they hadn't got me yet I'm lost in the desert tonight I put up one hell of a fight And lost souls pray, that God's gonna save us. From the outskirts of Vegas. The tables are turning, pockets are burned. For the jackpot i'm yearning, But my lesson's been learned. I'm lost in the desert tonight I put up one hell of a fight. Lost souls pray, that God's gonna save us..from the outskirts of Vegas.
