Well, it's a Vegas weddin' at the break of day

A
Lost all of our cash on a roll of the bones
         C                           D          A
  Had to pawn that  ring  just  to   get  back  home

In a cheap motel on the county line

Sneakin' back into town  in the      black  of  night
A
I heard the preacher screamin' through the motel door
         C                           D          A
Yeah he's cursin' my soul   in the  name of the Lord
