Jackpot, NV

What good's a feeling you never remember?

At home in your heart then it leaves like a renter

Back to the start when you're not a beginner

Is God still surprised all his children are sinners?

When I first met you I was in love with a fixture

Of life in my past, yeah I thought I could fix her

In my attempts you became what I risked for

A memory to kill all I'd ever exist for

Took a pill

For the drive

Through the hills

Through the night

I would kill

For the light

Burning through the passenger side

And until

All this time

Leads me home to what's left behind

Hit the jackpot waving goodbye

Boxing the shadows of moonlight's ending

It's a city of saints if you're good at pretending

Sidetracked with some of the thoughts you're intending

That made me a mess in the middle of mending

Then I pictured you standing among all the jackets

Of men at the slots triple 7s are flashing

You're spinnin' in red while they're hoping that black hits

My mind's motion pictures and babe, you're the actress

Took a pill

For the drive

Through the hills

Through the night

I would kill

For the light

Burning through the passenger side

And until

All this time

Leads me home to what's left behind

Hit the jackpot waving goodbye

Hit the jackpot waving goodbye

I wanna die on this desert highway

Pull to the side like my childhood driveway

Rest in your arms still as stars in the night lay

And kiss you goodbye as the dawn's early light breaks
