Casino Foundation

Martin Sexton

This aint no holiday

Oh no this aint no vacation

This is your chance to pay

The great casino foundation.

Jasmine had a little time on her hands

Time enough to vent some frustration

A single mother and with all the demands

Easy money was the temptation

That's how it started.

Midnight it's out the back door into her Jeep

Over the mountains to Reno

Meanwhile her eight year old is still fast asleep

It's video poker and Keno

There she'll tell me some lies

There she'll make some more promises

A gamblers glaze in her eyes

Time to break some more promises

Goodbye.

Jasmine and company at table 13

A great big man who hauls lumber

Fixed income granny and a chain smoking queen

All waiting for the same number

Where the sun never shines

And there are no more clocks on the wall

The only way to tell time

Is when the men come and say it's time

Goodbye

Jasmine's conscience is hot on her trail

Or was it a big sugar daddy

It's sink the Jeep and put the house up for sale

Or it's Las Vegas Nevad-y

No this aint no vacation.
