We met in Las Vegas at the slot machines
You pulled me like the aces and the queens
With your sequinned blazer and your rhinestone smile
You came ablaze out of the flaming red lights
You said I was the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen
You said that we could be a winning team
And when you spoke of honeymoon and Champs-Élysées
It looked like lady luck had smiled down on me
But the only threshold that you carried me over
Was the borderline of trash
Before the night was over
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman
Picking up the whole of this mess
And getting out of this hired dress
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman
Picking up my chips if I’m able
And get off of this highway
And back to the tables
And while I dreamed of Paris through a veil of beer
You said let’s go and tie the knot right here
Oh but is this the way to treat your fiancee
A drive-through chapel and an all-in buffet
And a fake priest dressed as Elvis sang ‘Love Me Tender’
While a hired dwarf witness played an imitation fender
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman
Picking up the whole of this mess
And getting out of this hired dress
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman (woman)
Picking up my chips if I’m able
And get off of this highway
And back to the tables, yeah
Now, you can say I’m dumb and blind
Or blame it on my trusting mind
But with dime and dance romances
Well you gotta take your chances
Now I’m at the hot dog stand
With a motel key in hand
And I’m runnin’
And I’m runnin’
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman
Picking up the whole of this mess
And getting out of this hired dress
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman (woman)
Picking up my chips if I’m able
And get off of this highway
And back to the tables
With a bag of quarters and a winning scheme
To have and to hold was a gamblers dream
But when the plot unfolded to its full extent
To get the hell out was the promised plan
'Cause the only hand you gave in holy matrimony
Was the hand I'm gonna use to write my tough-luck story
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman, yeah
Picking up the whole of this mess
And getting out of this hired dress
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman (woman)
Picking up my chips if I’m able (woohoo)
And get off of this highway
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman
Picking up the whole of this mess (woohoo)
And getting out of this hired dress
And it’s gonna take a strongheaded woman (woman)
Picking up my chips if I’m able (woohoo)
And make sure that before dawn
I’ll be back at the tables
