[Verse 1]
[C]Driving [G]out of vegas in their auto[B]mobile
[Bm]She [D]was in the backseat while
[Em]he was at the wheel
With the win[C]dows wide open
All [G]the money from the store
they'd gambled [B]away

[Verse 2]
He said, "...the [D]best laid plans
[Em]often go astra[C]y."
[G]She took the page of her book
[B]and turned it [Bm]down
[D]She lit a c[Em]igarette...she didn't
make [C]a sound
"and I [D]know if we'd had just one
more [Em]chance," [C]he said
[D]"I know--we'd finally finally hit the big
one [Em]at last," she [C]said

"it's no [Bm]big deal,
You can [D]take any exit that [Em]you

For [C]a contest to be on a
