driving out of vegas in their automobile
she was in the backseat while he was at the wheel
with the windows wide open
all the money from the store they`d gambled away
he said, `...the best laid plans often go astray.`
she took the page of her book and turned it down
she lit a cigarette...she didn`t make a sound
`and i know if we`d had just one more chance,` he said
`i know--we`d finally hit the big one at last,` she said
C--instead of another lost weekend / lost weekend
another lost weekend / lost weekend
`pull over soon,` she said, `it`s no big deal,
you can take any exit that you happen to feel is the right one.`
the right one
as she slowly blew her smoke out of the rear wind vent
she thought back on all the letters she`d sent
for a contest to be on a quiz game show
`maybe i shoulda stayed in school,` he said
`yeah, i know--start your own business cleaning swimming pools,` she said--C
she leaned forward over the front seat and twiddled with the radio dial
she looked out the window, saw a sign and both of them began to smile
`there`s a place we could stay at...it`s up another mile Send " Lost Weekend" Ringtone to your Cell
