Sherry Goes To Vegas Lyrics - Linda Davis

Mama wanted a movie star 

Daddy wanted a ph.d. 

All Sherry wanted was a little affection 

Nobody was listening 

So she caught a right with a guy in a truck 

Down by the interstate 

He said I'm headed for the city of angels 

I can drop you anywhere along the way 

The first time she saw them lights 

Lawd she could not say a word 

But he left her standin' on the strip 

With her suitcase on the curb 

And she saw a sign said please apply 

Always lookin' for a pretty face 

Aw, folks our little farmgirl was a big hit on the 

Little stage...and she's 

Livin a life 

Totally outrageous 

Puttin on the dog 

And takin' it off in Vegas 

I bet you wonder 

What's gonna happen to her 

Shhhhhh.....(listen) 

There's a gideon bible in the cheap desk beside her bed 

Sometimes she flips it open 

But she avoids the words in red 

'Cause Sherry can't believe the king of kings 

Would give a dang about the city of sin 

Why would he care anything about Sherry 

After all she's been 

Livin a life 

Totally outrageous 

Puttin on the dog 

And takin' it off in Vegas 

Hey y'all 

Well last night she could not sleep 

She was readin' that book again 

Then she came across that story 

That woman mary magdalene 

Sherry cried right out loud 

Lord, she's as rough as me 

What will the good lord do 

When they throw him a bad seed 

Oh, Sherry - Sherry 

Love's changed her 

Mary was 

Livin' a life totally outrageous 

Puttin' on the dog 

And takin' it off like Vegas 

Now someone's puttin' on a cross 

And shakin' off Vegas 

Sherry's on a greyhound on her way home to El Paso 

One black gideon bible and a heart as white as snow
