Christmas In Nevada Lyrics

Christmas In Nevada lyrics

Flip the switch

And let the gamblers roll

I'm headed up from old Mexico

The border towns

All look the same 

Brand new suit

And a bankers roll

Switchblade knife 

And no place to go

Except where I might find

The next game



Lights go on across the town

Children's choir sings 

Auld lang syne

The black jack dealers

Take their toll



I look up 

From this beat park bench

Into an ocean 

Of discontent

I can't wait to buy a ticket to anywhere

But home



Washing dishes

Behind the casino grill

Ain't no way 

To make a kill

But on the winter nights

The water keeps me warm



I'll take my pay

And buy a gun

Steal a car

And hope it runs

Find a place 

To make my name
