A happy little ditty about divorce, Las Vegas, Reno and whatnot.

Never been up there
They say it glows
I should ask my wife
I bet she knows
My baby went there
To get divorced
She got it backwards
Par for the course

Chorus:
Baby went to Vegas
While I stood pat
She bet the pass line
Well how ’bout that
She went to Vegas
While I stayed home
She hit the jackpot
Now she’s long gone

She upped the ante
I didn’t call
Our love is busted
And that ain’t all
Somewhere on the strip
My bluebird sings
She’s a flashing sign
With neon wings

Chorus:
Baby went to Vegas
While I stood pat
She bet the pass line
Well how ’bout that
She went to Vegas
While I stayed home
She hit the jackpot
Now she’s long gone

Bridge:
Las Vegas ain’t my kind of town
So look out darlin’ I’m Reno bound

Chorus:
My baby went to Vegas
While I stood pat
She bet the pass line
Well how ’bout that
She went to Vegas
While I stayed home
She hit the jackpot
Now she’s long gone
