Lyrics

Rolled in one night, later than we'd planned
Had spent three weeks in the Southwest heat
Were covered in red desert sand
Hadn't slept since Abilene

The neon lights hurt our weathered eyes
Could hardly tell if it was night or day
Tempted by the winner's cries
Went in with no plans to stay

CHORUS:
I might of stayed a little longer than I shoulda
But my cards were high, and I was wild
I might of played a few hands longer than I shoulda
But I was high, and my cards were wild
Now they're down and I am out, a broken man
Been bought and now I've got the dead man's hand

To pass the hours I layed down the first blind
Waitin' till that red dust finally passed
Now that day is gone and I'm still bettin on my luck to last

CHORUS
