Leaving Las Vegas lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm leaving Las Vegas

And I won't be back

No I won't be back

Not this time
