Leaving Las Vegas
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 banging on my TV set
And I check the odds
And I place my
bet
I pour a drink
And I pull the blinds
And 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
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
Nowhere is far
enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
Chorus:
I'm standing in the middle of the
desert
Waiting for my ship to come in
But now no joker, no
jack, no king
Can take this loser hand
And make it
win
Chorus:
I quit my job as a dancer
At the
Lido des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a
muddly line between
The things you want
And the things you
have to do
Chorus:
I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I won't
be back
No I won't be back
Not this
time
