This Ain’t Las Vegas

Right Here and Now

  1. This Ain’t Las Vegas
WRITTEN BY: OWEN TEMPLE

 
Look at you and me
We got two hearts
It’s not a full house yet
Could be a pretty good start
There’s no guarantees
In this hand that we play
We get to keep some cards
We have to throw some away

This ain’t Las Vegas
We’re not bound to lose
We can win it all
We’ve just got to choose
To bet on our hearts
We’ll get to what’s real
Cause we may not always know it
When we’ve got a good deal

It can make you crazy
Thinking ’bout hands that came before
And it won’t help to worry
What shuffled decks have in store
Let’s take what we know
And find a way how
To best play this moment
Right here and now

‘Cause this ain’t Las Vegas
We’re not bound to lose
We can win it all
We’ve just got to choose
To bet on our hearts
We’ll get to what’s real
Cause we may not always know it
When we’ve got a good deal

I know you don’t like gambling darling
But love’s the only game in town
Let’s put what we’ve got on the line
This kind of loving won’t let us down

You and me take our chances
Draw ’em one at a time
Look there we got a match
That’s makes us two of a kind
Let’s raise our bet
And say a little prayer
‘Cause no king or queen beats
A couple of hearts and a pair

‘Cause this ain’t Las Vegas
We’re not bound to lose
And we can win it all
We’ve just got to choose
To bet on our hearts
We’ll get to what’s real
Cause we may not always know it
When we’ve got a good deal
Yeah we may not always know it
When we’ve got a good deal
