Well if "you can't never leave" that sounds pretty sad. Like being stuck in a casino forever, dam.

My apologies if it has been posted already:

Boyz II Men apparently has many entries in this category. I'd nominate "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men

they played an outdoor show in memphis...and broke Elvis' attendance record.
Elvis sent each of the band members flowers and a personal note congratulating them on their success.
they went to graceland to thank him.
Elvis' uncle told them he had just left for a tour and instead showed them around.
they found one of Elvis' old guitars and played with it...that night at their hotel room...inspired by their visit to graceland...they wrote this tune.

Especially when you ask him to bring you your wine, and he tells you, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969."

It's kind of humorous in a way because it was the theme song to The Life and Times of Tim. A great animated series if anyone has never seen it.

Never heard anything but Kenny's version. I never thought it was that good of a song that other people would cover it.
