In the back room of the El Mago Casino Under a portrait of Doris Day You and I And a pair of C-notes Soft candy betting hard eight Not quite how you laid it out for me When we split up that night, that night Coming out of the Sunset Marquis Before you left to deal the fine white Is this how you pictured it Is this how you thought it would be We got right with the mutual problem That got right between you and me I told you the girl would be trouble I said she was going to break us Leave us lost in the rust and the rubble Nine exits north of Las Vegas, Vegas Nine exits north of Las Vegas, Vegas Nine exits north of Las Vegas
