Fly away to Nevada City
If you can't go it'll be a pity
Bright lights shinin' for love or money
If I lose it won't be fun for me
You can meet me at the airplane, lay it on the line

McCarran Airport, why do you let me down?
McCarran Airport, why do you let me down?

You playin' blackjack
Me watchin' baccarat
Five dollar minimum all night long
Nickel or dime slots
Hittin' the night spots
Tryin' to decide what's right or wrong

Hughes Air West jet on the runway
Go on Thursday, back on Sunday
Only four days to win or lose me
Don't let the roulette wheel use me
You can meet me at the airplane, lay it on the line

McCarran Airport, why do you let me down?
McCarran Airport, why do you let me down?

Up on Mount Charleston
Indian lyin' down
Takin' some pictures at Boulder Dam
Under the big top
Ridin' the bumper car
Rollin' like dice, where will we land?
Run away from Nevada City
With pockets that are full of empty
Lucky I had a round-trip ticket
I played my hand, used every trick
It was not meant to be
A single coach seat on the airplane, I laid it all on the line

McCarran Airport, why is this tear afraid to fall?
McCarran Airport, now that I've gone and lost it all
McCarran Airport, why is this tear afraid to fall?
McCarran Airport, now that I've gone and lost it all
