Fallin' asleep at the wheel again baby, You're driftin' over the line. You're hands are tied, but you're losin' grip quickly Fix me, can you read the sign! Thumbin' your way to Vegas, dirty Dreamin' of the other side! Save your tears and laughter because It doesn't matter what you find It ain't pretty After the show It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you With no place to go. So, if you think you need it, Here's the place to feed it It ain't pretty. When, everything that you do is wrong, And you Feel like you can barely survive When those around you Are crumblin' downwards Buried in the sunset of life. Thumbin' your way to Vegas, dirty And screamin' like a bitch from hell, Save your dreams Up your patience Doesn't matter what you sell It ain't pretty After the show It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you With no place to go! So, if you think you want it! Here's the place to get it, It ain't pretty Yeah, yeah, yeah It ain't pretty Yeah, yeah, yeah Thumbin' your way to Vegas, dirty Dreamin' like you're out of control, Save your tears and laughter Because this is the ride And this is the show It ain't pretty After the show! It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you With no place to go So, if you think you want it Just come in and get it It ain't pretty
