Checkout Time In Vegas
Album(s): Brighter Than Creation's Dark,Sung by: Mike Cooley
Written by: Mike Cooley
A bloody nose, empty pockets,
a rented car with a trunk full of guns.
It ain't true that the sun don't rise in Vegas,
I seen it once.
She might have been somebody's mama.
He might have been somebody's son.
But if the sun went down on them that night in Vegas,
their luck was good as gone.
They'll be after me by the time the buffet closes,
making sure Sin City still shines brighter than Creation's dark.
If all you need is a badge to take what's left from those who lost it,
a badge ain't no more real than bullets are.
A bloody nose, empty pockets,
a rented car with a trunk full of guns.
Checkout time is sundown in Las Vegas,
but it only rises once.
