Lyrics
The very day I met you,
You swore it'd always last
But the ghosts that haunt you
Have shown up from your past
And now the road is your sweet home
You're in Vegas and I'm still waiting
For you to leave the desert and come meet me in the foggy weather
I can't take this; your wondering is useless
The answers to your troubled mind won't be there on the highway signs
You belong with me
But you're in Vegas
I put away your old shirts
Traces of our life together
You've been sending letters
So I reckon you're alright
But now it's time to come back home
You're in Vegas and I'm still waiting
For you to leave the desert and come meet me in the foggy weather
I can't take this; your wondering is useless
The answers to your troubled mind won't be there on the highway signs
You belong with me
But you're in Vegas
The cowboy in you wants to run away from every flick of pain
But you won't find yourself that way
I'll take care of you
And after all your gambling, now you made you best bet
When you called last night and said
That I'm your one and only home
Now we're in Vegas and you're just waiting
For me to walk the aisle, say "I will" and give a tender smile
You took my hand; I fell in love again
In this chapel on the outskirts
Let's pack it up and head out westward
You belong with me
We're leaving Vegas
