Here you are! Las Vegas bound! Got your dollars by the pound! Looking 'round at all the sights! The big Casinos! Pretty lights! You are here for three big nights... You and the wife take in a show! Gotta do that don'tcha know Then the liquor starts to flow The quarter slots and off you go... WOW! You WON! $800 bucks! You just can't believe your luck! You're hi-rollin'! That's no lie! Friend, you won the ***** PRIZE.* Off you go to the Blackjack table You play as long as you are able Start to lose. Become unstable Win in Vegas? That's a fable... You begin to lose your mind You lose more money Than you find Gambling becomes a grind You are really in a bind Sin City's really so unkind... Table to table You're on the hop You're all over on the shop Buying chips with money you ain't got Your wife is begging you to stop... Back at the slots where you began Don't know day from night my friend You drop the dollars You're 'round the bend You spent money your friends lend Finally you're at the end... Here you are upon the stool You didn't play by you're own rules Don't bank the house and be a tool But here you sit Just like a fool... Now you're singin' the sad song You spent it all you're in the wrong Vegas knew it all along Your wife has left your money's gone... Open pocket out it slips You fell for the dealer's quips The dreams of riches from their lips You fell for the gambling whips *now you gotta EAT THOSE CHIPS.* SoulSurvivor (C) 2/7/2016

The sad thing about gambling addiction is you may not know that you're addicted until it's too late... -
