Paradise Nevada Lyrics

God knows how long she was waiting on the mountain

Staring at the river, watching all her dreams go by

Every single morning she sang of crystal fountains

Counting the days until she spread her wings and fly

She had her eye on a man, the hero of the valley

Born in an alley wearing felony shoes

When it came to the ladies, that man became a legend

Famous for his freedom, freed to pick and choose

Lay your money, lay your money down

Lay your money, lay your money down

It was a marriage made in heaven, meant for each other

Natural born lovers want to sing each other's song

It was too good to be true, too good not to try

Too soon to tell, it was too late to cry

There were shadows in [Unverified], poison in the air

Secrets to be hidden, they were too much to care

It was lipstick for breakfast and fine wine in a glass

Resentments in the mirror, there was no way you can last

Lay your money, lay your money down

Lay your money, lay your money down

There was static on the juke box and murder on their minds

Money on the table, there were [Unverified]

Lights across the water and fireworks in the sky

Paradise Nevada on the fifth night of July

Twisting like a dancer, she took everything he had

This side of Whiskey, nothing cut in half is bad

There are losses, there are debts, there are winners to be found

There are wagers, there are bets, there are losers in the crowd

Lay your money, lay your money down

Lay your money, lay your money down
