# Casino Dreams [Verse 1] Well I came out to Phoenix with a suitcase and a prayer Got a headshot and a dream, twenty dollars to spare Been serving coffee at the truck stop off I-10 While I practice my big smile in the mirror again 'Cause there's a casting call tomorrow for the Desert Diamond spot Thirty seconds of pure magic, it's my one and only shot [Chorus] I'm gonna be the face on that casino commercial Dancing with the cards and the slot machine Telling all of Arizona "Come and try your luck" Living off residuals and the Hollywood dream Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody on that casino commercial Even if it kills me, I'm gonna make that scene [Verse 2] My mama calls from Tucson says "When you coming home?" "The diner's always hiring and you wouldn't be alone" But I got dreams bigger than a small-town Friday night I see my face on billboards underneath those neon lights The casting director's looking for "authentic Southwest charm" Well honey, I was born with dust still on my arms [Chorus] I'm gonna be the face on that casino commercial Dancing with the cards and the slot machine Telling all of Arizona "Come and try your luck" Living off residuals and the Hollywood dream Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody on that casino commercial Even if it kills me, I'm gonna make that scene [Bridge] Three auditions and they told me I was "almost right" "Too much Tucson, not enough Vegas light" So I bleached my hair and bought some fancy clothes But you can't wash the desert out, Lord knows [Verse 3] Now I'm standing in this line with a hundred other dreamers All practicing their poker face and thousand-watt beamers The man behind the table looks tired as old leather Says "Show me how you'd sell someone a lucky feather" So I close my eyes and think of home, that Arizona sun Sometimes the realest thing you got's the only way you've won [Final Chorus] Maybe I'll be the face on that casino commercial Dancing with the cards and the slot machine Or maybe I'll just go back to pouring coffee But at least I chased that Hollywood dream Yeah, at least I took my shot at that casino commercial At least I gave my all to that desert scene [Outro] There's a new casting call tomorrow For a mattress store in Glendale But tonight I'm buying lottery tickets With my coffee money tale
