Christmas In Nevada Flip the switch And let the gamblers roll I'm headed up from old Mexico The border towns All look the same Brand new suit And a bankers roll Switchblade knife And no place to go Except where I might find The next game Lights go on across the town Children's choir sings Auld lang syne The black jack dealers Take their toll I look up From this beat park bench Into an ocean Of discontent I can't wait to buy a ticket to anywhere But home Washing dishes Behind the casino grill Ain't no way To make a kill But on the winter nights The water keeps me warm I'll take my pay And buy a gun Steal a car And hope it runs Find a place To make my name
