Boz Scaggs - Vanishing Point lyrics

I met him first out at the edge of nowhere A last chance oasis on the plains The sky was threatening as he came up to me Said could you help me beat the rain Where does it take you this road you travel He smiled the same place as yourself To that point out there where all roads vanish Going to Vegas man where else Play it straight and play it true my brother Cause you're miles from anywhere As it happens in the world of shadows Time and distance vanish there I was just another deadbeat loser there the last time I couldn't even read the signs But I've got this feeling and there's magic in the cards now I'm going back to take what's mine Play it straight and play it true my brother Cause you're miles from anywhere As it happens in the world of shadows Time and distance vanish there What damned illusion in that neon lightning A run of luck is in the air Shining brighter than any flush of diamonds A magic carpet of despair Play it straight and play it true my brother Cause you're miles from anywhere As it happens in the world of shadows Time and distance vanish there Play it straight and play it true my brother Cause you're miles from anywhere As it happens in the world of shadows Time and distance vanish there
