City in the desert
Lighting up the night sky
Magnificent wall of concrete
Hoover is it’s name
Feeding power to the strip
With slot machines row on row
Push those buttons
Or pull that handle
Result will be the same
Losing your hard earned dollars
Nickels, dimes and quarters
Head back home empty handed
Vowing never to return
Hello city in the desert
Here I am back again
Lady Luck is with me
Oh, this time I am sure
Oh Lord please let it happen
Just one time for me
Megabucks or jackpot
Doesn’t really matter
A million here
Or a million there
Is still a dream come true
Lady Luck found a new friend
No it’s not me
Head back home empty handed
Vowing never to return
To this city in the desert
Well….. at least until
Lady Luck comes back to me again
