Oh God doesn't work in Vegas, on those casino games they play
But you hear his name requested, every night and every day
They say oh God I need a king; oh god I need a queen, please let me roll a seven
Not a thing against you but there's nothing he'll do from his office up in heaven

I'm a' sittin' at the blackjack table, and each hand I double down
Tryin' to win my money back, and I'm losin' ev'ry round
I say oh god please give me a nin,e and turn this twelve into twenty-one
The dealer pulls a ten I'm busted again, put a fork in me I'm done

Chorus
Oh God doesn't work in Vegas, he doesn't work in Tahoe or Macau
But if you've got a gambling addiction, chomping at the bit to go to work right now

Oh God doesn't work in Vegas, downtown or on the strip
But people still hope he's helpin' out with every card that the dealers flip
He doesn't work the Sands or the MGM, Binion's or the Palms
But alone in your room he'll free you from gloom and make your travel waters calm

Oh God won't throw a game, and God won't throw a fight
He may not help you win, but he's with you day and night
Now I don't pretend to know where God is gonna go on any given day
But I do know for certain he can stop all the hurtin' and show you a better way

Repeat chorus

He won't use his mighty power, 'cause it just would not be fair
And it's simple economics, we can't all be millionaires
So think about what you're askin', when you go to roll them dice
Even if you win it's probably a sin and you pay a hefty price

Repeat chorus
This song is from the album "Laughin' & Cryin'".
