The Big Gamble To Vegas I go, Naively optimistic, Hoping to get lucky, That one-in-a-million, Flying over the desert, In a pitch black sky, Before my eyes widen, To a city of lights, I walk into the casino, With plenty of cash, Ready to play the odds, To take a chance, I pull on the lever, Envision bar-bar-bar, Never hearing that winning sound, As I waste a few more dollars, I then look at my hand, Study the eyes of others, Make my risky move, Try not to give away my bluff, The wheel spins, Hoping for red, A 50/50 chance, Failing in the end, Trying to make up for my losses, By making bigger bets, The losses continue to mount, Falling further in debt, Going to Vegas, Full of hope, My head sinks, As I leave with nothing, Gambling my money, Gambling my possessions, Gambling my life, Gambling my happiness, Taking the big gamble, Going all in, Giving you my heart, Giving love a chance.
