Chely Wright Lyrics
"One Night in Las Vegas"

(Brad Paisley - Chely Wright)

Flight 709 pulled up to the gate
An hour and forty-five minutes late
And of course our connection was already in the air
Spent a day of our vacation in Chicago O'Hare.

And like musical chairs at the baggage belt
We were the last ones standin' there when nothin' came out
Looking back now on our string of bad luck
That just wasn't our day but you know what.

That one night in Las Vegas
Lyin' there with you
Was well worth everything that
You and I went through.

And so it goes, our life's been that way
Puttin' out fires, takin' it day by day
And look at this year, it's been our hardest one yet
Just when we thought it had gotten bad as it could get.

You got transferred to Denver, I stayed behind
Put the house on the market 'bout went outta my mind
And your dad got sick, I've never seen you so scared
We almost didn't make it through the year.

But that weekend in the mountains in a cabin all by ourselves
Makin' that one memory made up for everything else
Ooh, me and my insecurities, you and your stubborn pride
If we've learned anything it's there's no winner when we fight.

So this mornin' in our kitchen after talkin' all night long
We finally stopped tryin' to figure out who's right and who is wrong
And when you hold me like you're holdin' me and I kiss your tired face
We know we took the long way here but wound up in a better place.

Baby one night in Las Vegas or one weekend in the mountains
Any moment we're together makes up for everything else...
