Vanishing Point - Boz Scaggs

I met him first out at the edge of nowhere

A last chance oasis on the plains

The sky was threatening as he came up to me

Said could you help me beat the rain

Where does it take you this road you travel

He smiled the same place as yourself

To that point out there where all roads vanish

Going to Vegas man where else

Play it straight and play it true my brother

Cause you’re miles from anywhere

As it happens in the world of shadows

Time and distance vanish there

I was just another deadbeat loser there the last time

I couldn’t even read the signs

But I’ve got this feeling and there’s magic in the cards now

I’m going back to take what’s mine

Play it straight and play it true my brother

Cause you’re miles from anywhere

As it happens in the world of shadows

Time and distance vanish there

What damned illusion in that neon lightning

A run of luck is in the air

Shining brighter than any flush of diamonds

A magic carpet of despair

Play it straight and play it true my brother

Cause you’re miles from anywhere

As it happens in the world of shadows

Time and distance vanish there

Play it straight and play it true my brother

Cause you’re miles from anywhere

As it happens in the world of shadows

Time and distance vanish there
