Lyrics
Nash-Vegas copyright 2010 by John Sparkman
The City Lights Shine bright on Broadway
But I'll never be a star in the bars where I play
So I, took a chance on a one way ticket to Nashville
Sold my car, bought a better guitar and quit the job that paid my bills
And Now I'm goin' all in, but recording has got me in debt
And I'd be homeless if my girlfriend didn't cover my bets
Livin' Life Like a one arm bandit, put it all on the line to be famous
My head is spinnin' like a roulette wheel in this gamble we call Nash-Vegas
Well I made it to town I've been playin' around on Broadway
But I'll never get discovered with these covers that I play
If I could win 5th place on Nashville Star I might get an investor
But now the, only calls I'm gettin' are from the bill collectors
But I'll Never think twice I keep a' rollin' the dice on the dream
And it'll break my heart, but if it's not in the cards, I'll blame everyone but me
Livin' Life Like a one arm bandit, put it all on the line to be famous
My head is spinnin' like a roulette wheel in this gamble we call Nash-Vegas
Lead break
Sell the Farm, your right arm for a long shot record deal at best.
We're spinnin' records like a roulette wheel in this gamble we call Nash-Vegas
Livin' Life Like a one arm bandit, put it all on the line to be famous
My head is spinnin' like a roulette wheel in this gamble we call Nash-Vegas
