Wall of Voodoo - Lost Weekend

Driving out of Vegas in their automobile
She was in the backseat while he was at the wheel
With the windows wide open

All the money from the store they'd gambled away
He said, the best laid plans often go astray
She took the page of her book and turned it down
She lit a cigarette she didn't make a sound
And I know if we'd had just one more chance, he said
I know we'd finally hit the big one at last, she said

Instead of another lost weekend
Lost weekend
Another lost weekend
Lost weekend

Pull over soon, she said, it's no big deal
You can take any exit that you happen to feel is
The right one
The right one

As she slowly blew her smoke out of the rear wind vent
She thought back on all the letters she'd sent
For a contest to be on a quiz game show
Maybe I shoulda stayed in school, he said
Yeah, I know start your own business
Cleaning swimming pools, she said

Instead of another lost weekend
Lost weekend
Another lost weekend
Lost weekend
Another lost weekend
Lost weekend
Another lost weekend
Lost weekend

She leaned forward over the front seat and
Twiddled with the radio dial
She looked out the window, saw a sign
And both of them began to smile
There's a place we could stay at
It's up another mile
