Leaving Las Vegas

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Life springs eternal On a gaudy neon street Not that I care at all I spent the best part of my losing streak In an Army Jeep For what I can't recall Oh, I'm bangin' on my TV set And I check the odds And I, and I place my bet I pour a drink And I pull the blinds I wonder what I'll find [Chorus] I'm leaving Las Vegas Lights so bright Palm sweat Blackjack on a Saturday night Leaving Las Vegas Leaving for good, for good I'm leaving for good I'm leaving for good [Verse 2] Used to be I could drive up to Barstow for the night Find some crossroad trucker to demonstrate his might But these days it seems that, nowhere is far enough away So I'm leaving Las Vegas today [Chorus] I'm leaving Las Vegas, oh The lights so bright Blackjack on a Saturday night I'm leaving Las Vegas I'm leaving for good I'm leaving for good For good [Verse 3] I'm standin' in the middle of the desert Waitin' for my ship to come in But now no joker, no jack, no king Can take this losing hand and, and make it win [Chorus] I'm leaving Las Vegas, oh I'm leaving Las Vegas For good For good [Bridge] I quit my job as a dancer At the Lido des Girls And they're dealin' blackjack until one or two Such a muddy line between the things you want And the things you have to do, oh [Chorus] Leaving Las Vegas Lights so bright Palm sweat Blackjack on a Saturday night Leaving Las Vegas I'm leaving for good I'm leaving for good Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas The lights so bright Palms sweat Blackjack on a Saturday night I'm leaving Las Vegas I'm leaving for good I'm leaving for good Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas Lights so bright On a Saturday night [Outro] Leaving Las Vegas And I won't be back No, no No, I won't be back Not this time
