Lost Weekend

Lost Weekend

Words taken from a lyric by Stan Ridgeway

Driving out of Vegas in an automobile she’s in the back seat and he’s at the wheel
All the money from the store they had gambled away- the best laid plans often go astray
Maybe I should have stayed in school he said.
- start my own business cleaning swimming pools instead.
She said I know if we get one more chance we’re going to get on the big one at last
It’s just another Lost Weekend

Well you can pull over soon it’s no big deal- just take any exit that you happen to feel
Just pull over soon it’s no big deal we can always make out in the automobile.
She folds down her page and lights a cigarette- blows her smoke out of the rear wind vent
She says I know if we had one chance we could get on the Big one at last
It’s just another Lost Weekend.

Well she reaches across to the radio dial- turns it around and began to smile
Look up ahead there’s a neon light - there’s a motel we can stay in
It’s only just one mile.
