Motel in Vegas

Songtext

[Verse 1] Two cousins rolled out east From Oklahoma City Two girls in the back seat All of them feeling pretty Pulled into Vegas hungry With a stack and a plan By midnight, the pockets Was lighter than sand They laughed at the tables Then they fed the machine Thought luck was a lady Till she ghosted the scene One more try, one more spin Then the whole thing fell flat Next thing they knew They was staring at that [Pre-Chorus] Cheap room, cheap sheets Two keys on the desk Empty hands, tired eyes And a pit in the chest Called home, said "We coming" But the truth hit hard Every road back east Had a hole in the card [Chorus] Motel in Vegas Motel in Vegas No cash, no favors Motel in Vegas We came in on a dream Now we sleep where we landed Motel in Vegas And the joke ain't funny [Verse 2] Tried the bus station early With a borrowed last dime But the trip back home Kept slipping their mind One cousin said "Man, we made it" Then he shook his head slow The girls split one soda And watched the sun go They called every friend They could think to trust But pride gets real quiet When the tank runs dust So they posted up small In that bargain-bin light Four shoes by the door No money in sight [Pre-Chorus] Cheap room, cheap sheets Two keys on the desk Empty hands, tired eyes And a pit in the chest Called home, said "We coming" But the truth hit hard Every road back east Had a hole in the card [Chorus] Motel in Vegas Motel in Vegas No cash, no favors Motel in Vegas We came in on a dream Now we sleep where we landed Motel in Vegas And the joke ain't funny [Bridge] Next morning, they swore They'd do better today One shirt, one backpack And a long, quiet pray From Oklahoma nights To a rent-by-the-week Sometimes losing everything Is the only way you speak [Final Chorus] Motel in Vegas Motel in Vegas No cash, no favors Motel in Vegas We came in on a dream Now we sleep where we landed Motel in Vegas And the joke ain't funny
