She Hopes There’s Casinos In Heaven

On every anniversary
There’s just one place she wants to be
Where the wheels never stop spinning
And she swears she’s always set to win
And when her streak gets hot
She ain’t leavin’ that spot

She hopes there’s casinos in Heaven
And a chair that’s been waiting for her
She’ll always wear a happy expression
‘Cause a big win always put that spark in her

She makes me drive two hours straight
‘Cause she hates the thought of being late
We’re rolling out before the rooster crows
She’s got that fire everybody knows
It’s the one day each year she keeps so dear
And thank the Lord the roads stay good and clear

When the evening comes and we roll home
She’s sittin’ there just talkin’ on the phone
Tellin’ her friends ’bout how she played that day
And how she loves to go each year on her birthday
And once she’s home from our gamblin’ trip
She’s beggin’ me to book us on a cruise ship

If Heaven’s peaceful and quiet
With harps and angel wings
She’ll be huntin’ down a place to raise a riot
With lights that flash and bells that ring
I’ll just follow that light

She hopes there’s casinos in Heaven
And a chair that’s been waiting for her
She’ll always wear a happy expression
‘Cause a big win always lit that spark in her
