Story Behind The Song

A song about paying the price for living the high life.

Lyrics

[Cm]I jetted in for the Vegas nights
Got so high, and I paid the price
And I [Fm]know, what they say
It's a [Bb]sin, a mistake
But I [Cm]like it

[Cm]I play it cool when they raise the stakes, oh oh
I love the heat, when I'm getting baked
So I [Fm]laugh and I smile
Hold 'em [Bb]Stud, Jokers wild
And I [Cm]like it

[Fm]They comp the suite at [Cm]Bellagio, oh [Bb]oh
If you're in Vegas that's the [Cm]way to go, oh oh
[Fm]A winning streak and a [Cm]bit of luck
[Bb]You're living high, til you get crushed

------------ Chorus -----------------------------------------------------------
Its karma, karma
No, there's nothing to it
When your heart is racing
You power through it

Karma, karma
Girl, you have to laugh
I was flying 'til it came down to the
Crash And Burn,,,,,, I never learn
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like the weed and the womanizing, oh oh
They say it's crude and it's damnedifying
I know, what they say
It's a sin, a mistake
But I like it

Flash and dash and a pot of gold, oh, oh, oh
You take a shot and you never know, oh, oh, oh
When you're down and you're out of luck
You're cashing out and payback sucks

(Chorus)



(Bridge)
[Gm]Morning after, falling on my [Fm]knees
[Gm]Waking up to bleak reali[Fm]ty
