Drivin' outta vegas in their automobile She was in the back seat while he was at the wheel With the windows wide open
All the money from the store, they'd gambled away He said the best laid plans often go astray
She took the page of a book and turned it down She lit a cigarette, she didn't make a sound
And I know, if we'd had just one more chance, he said I know, we'd finally hit the big one at last, she said
Chorus: (instead of) another lost weekend Lost weekend Another lost weekend Lost weekend
Pull over soon, she said, it's no big deal, You can take any exit that you happen to feel Is the right one The right one
As she slowly blew her smoke out the rear wind vent She thought back on all the letters she'd sent For a contest to be on a quiz game show
Maybe I shoulda stayed in school, he said Yeah, I know c cstart your own business cleanin' swimming pools, she said
Chorus repeat x2
She leaned over the front seat and twiddled with the radio dial She looked out the window, saw a sign, and both of them began to smile There's a place we can stay at... it's up another mile.
