Lyrics
What Happens Here – by Mike Sales
Last minute trip, couldn’t get an earlier flight
Doesn’t bother me the cause the town stays open all night
I never check a bag, cause I don’t want to wait til they haul it all back from the rear
Oh but don’t get me started bout what happens here
There’s a place on the strip where a quarter can win you a car
But I start downtown where the dealers are friendlier by far
And the a singer in the lounge, outta be famous,
nailin any song you ever wanna hear
oh but don’t get me started bout what happens here
Chorus
what happens here, stays here
in the 24/7 party atmosphere
I’m gonna win some money and they’ll bring me free beer
don’t get me started bout what happens here
grand buffet, food for days, I can eat as much as I like
half a day’s pay on the server’s tray, up on his feet all night
now bring me that keno, I’m gonna win a c-note
playing my numbers without any fear
oh but don’t get me started bout what happens here
night club top of a sky scraper, doesn’t have a lock on the door
dj comes on at midnight or later
I’m gonna be on the dance floor
and when I scream at the waitress, she should be a showgirl
I hope she knows I’m being sincere
Oh but don’t get me started bout what happens here
Chorus
Bridge
miles from the ocean but I always have a ball
lounging by the pool, doesn’t feel like a desert at all
the water’s crystal clear, they even have their own Margaritaville here
oh but don’t get me started bout what happens here
