The Lyrics
I'll never forget seeing people push shopping carts on the streets of Las Vegas many years ago---down to their last dime; a powerful reminder of what happens when you get carried away.
The twinkling lights of Reno
Seem very far away
A cardboard box was home
Until I went away
I've been hangin' outside the doors of Caesar's Palace
Wish I could be just sitting by the bay
I left my cart somewhere in Reno
Filled with my clothes and memories
I had no luck at playing cards
Roulette is pretty hard
The morning frost covered my hair
My cart sits there in downtown Reno
For all the gambling world to see
I had to leave you quick, downtown Reno
A few loan sharks were after me
(Repeat)
Seem very far away
A cardboard box was home
Until I went away
I've been hangin' outside the doors of Caesar's Palace
Wish I could be just sitting by the bay
I left my cart somewhere in Reno
Filled with my clothes and memories
I had no luck at playing cards
Roulette is pretty hard
The morning frost covered my hair
My cart sits there in downtown Reno
For all the gambling world to see
I had to leave you quick, downtown Reno
A few loan sharks were after me
(Repeat)

Very well done...
Oh no, my 5's were in that cart...
funny twist to a great OS...5s
C'mon... daddy needs a new pair of shoes... *rolls the dice* Well, would you look at that? 5,5,5
Nicely done, Royce. I had tried to come up with something for this OS but, came up as empty as my wallet the last time I was in Vegas. In fact, it was the only time I've been there....555
Great job, Royce. Reminds me of the old joke about arriving in Vegas in a 30 thousand dollar car, and leaving on a 150 thousand dollar bus :-) 555
Thanks guys
