Jackpot from Highway Queen by Nikki Lane

Jackpot, I hit the number, it was always you
I was looking for sevens; they were coming in twos
I was on a bad streak and honey it was getting me down

Down to my last dime with no good news
I was getting pretty tired of singing the blues
My luck was running dry, I was about to leave this town

I’ll give it one more try; I’ll give it one last shot
Put the quarter in the slot
Could it be Jackpot?

Viva Las Vegas, Atlantic City rendez-vous
Weekend in Reno, late night casino
I’ll go anywhere with you

Well I shoulda seen it coming; you were always there
Standing in the corner with a warm dark stare
I had to move a little closer so I could get a better look

You said come on little darlin’ we should have our share
Let’s try and roll the dice and run away somewhere
You didn’t have to say another word, no, that was all it took

I said let’s go all in, I’ll give it all I got
Put the quarter in the slot, there it is Jackpot

Viva Las Vegas, Atlantic City rendez-vous
Weekend in Reno, late night casino
I’ll go anywhere with you

Rollin’ down the Mississippi
Livin’ us a riverboat dream
Playin’ the wildcard, life ain’t been too hard
Since you ran away with me

S’been a long, long time since we placed our bets
Crazy as it is, we ain’t quit winning yet
True love don’t come ‘til you lay it all down on the line
So darlin’ go all in and give it all you got
Put the quarter in the slot, it’s gonna be Jackpot

Viva Las Vegas, Atlantic City rendez-vous
Weekend in Reno, late night casino
I’ll go anywhere with you

Rollin’ down the Mississippi
Livin’ us a riverboat dream
Playin’ the wildcard; life ain’t been too hard
Since you ran away with me

Jackpot, I hit the number, it was always you
Jackpot, I hit the number, it was always you
Jackpot, I hit the number, it was always you
Jackpot, I hit the number, it was always you
