| We met in Las Vegas at the slot machines
|
| You pulled me like the aces and the queens
|
| With your sequinned blazer and your rhinestone smile
|
| You came ablaze out of the flaming red lights
|
| You said I was the seetest thing you’ve ever seem
|
| You said that we could be a winning team
|
| But when you spoke of honeymoon and Chemps Elisee
|
| It looked like lady luck had smiled down on me
|
| But the only threshhold that you carried me over
|
| Was the borderline of trash
|
| Before the night wa over
|
| And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman
|
| Picking up the whole of this mess
|
| And getting out of this hired dress
|
| And it’s gonna take a strgongheaded woman
|
| Picking up my chips if I’m able
|
| And get off of his highway
|
| And back to the tables
|
| And while I dreamed of Paris through a veil of beer
|
| You said let’s go and tie the knot right here
|
| Oh but is the way to treat your fiancee
|
| A drive-through chapel and an all-in buffet
|
| And a fake priest dressed as Elvis sang ‘Love me tender'
|
| While a hired dwarf witness played an imitation fender
|
| And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman
|
| Picking up the whole of this mess
|
| And getting out of this hired dress
|
| And it’s gonna take a strgongheaded woman
|
| Picking up my chips if I’m able
|
| And get off of his highway
|
| And back to the tables
|
| Now, You can say I’m dumb and blind
|
| Or blame it on my trusting mind
|
| But with dime and dance romances
|
| Well, you gotta take your chances
|
| Now I’m at the hot dog stand
|
| With a motel key in hand
|
| And I’m runnin'
|
| And I’m runnin'
|
| And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman
|
| Picking up the whole of this mess
|
| And getting out of this hired dress
|
| And it’s gonna take a strgongheaded woman
|
| Picking up my chips if I’m able
|
| And get off of his highway
|
| And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman
|
| Picking up the whole of this mess
|
| And getting out of this hired dress
|
| And it’s gonna take a strgongheaded woman
|
| Picking up my chips if I’m able
|
| And make sure that before dawn
|
| I’ll be back at the tables |
