ZZ Top – Viva Las Vegas

06.17.11

Y’all still want me to come with you?

Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire
There's a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher.
There's a thousand pretty women just a-waitin out there,
And they're all livin' devil-may-care.
I'm just the devil with a love to spare.
Viva Las Vegas.
Viva Las Vegas.

Hey now...  Than you very much.

Oh how I wish that there were more
Than twenty-four hours in the day.
But even if there were forty more,
I wouldn't sleep a minute away.
Oh, there's blackjack and poker and a roulette wheel.
A fortune won and lost on every deal.
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel.

Viva Las Vegas. (4x)

Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashin',
And your one-armed bandits crashin'
All those hopes down the drain.
Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime,
Turn the night into daytime,
If you see it once, you'll never come home again.

I'm gonna keep on the run,
I'm gonna have me some fun,
If it costs me my very last dime.
If I wind up broke,
Then I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time.
I'm gonna give it everything I've got.
Lady Luck please let the dice stay hot.
Let me shoot a seven with every shot.

Viva Las Vegas. (4x)
Viva, Viva.

One Tank Trips

06.14.11

We took our grandson to the Ropke Armor Museum (free) in Crawfordsville, In.  They told us we could either call ahead to schedule a tour, or just show up and walk around (while they’re open) and check things out.  We opted for just showing up and spent quite a lot of time chasing the 5 year old to the next “Oh boy…”.

The pic with ‘the face’ came right after he crawled out from between a couple of tanks and found some ‘webs’.
