lyrics

Broken down, busted on the stateline road Lonesome truck driver on the only pay phone Just my luck, look what just rolled up
A one-eyed man in a yellow tow truck
I said come on, come on won’t you get it on the rack I got a gig in Vegas and I ain’t lookin’ back
Whoa, sweet baby the money we’ll be makin’
It was 40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’
40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’
40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’
I been givin’ what the road’s been takin’
It was 40 miles to Vegas when we all started prayin’
Dreaming of eight balls and one-eyed jacks
The tow truck driver was high on crack
He was talkin’ bout some friends that had died When his head started twitchin, my mouth went dry
My man, my man just take it real slow
We in no hurry, just keep us on the road
I opened up his smokes ‘cause his hand was a-shakin’ I t was 40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’
40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’ 40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’ I been givin’ what the road’s been takin’
40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’
Dreaming of eight balls and a one-eyed jack Tow trucker driver was high on crack
He was so high like the desert sky
I thought to myself man we’re all gonna die
You work so hard just to get to a place
Wondering if the catch is worth the chase
If I get to where I’m going you know that I’ll be stayin’ It was 40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’
40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’ 40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’ I been givin’ what the roads been takin’
40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’
40 Miles to Vegas
40 Miles to Vegas
40 Miles to Vegas
40 miles to Vegas
40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’ 40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’ 40 miles to Vegas and we all started prayin’ It was 40 miles to Vegas
