Leaving Las Vegas Lyrics

One, two, three

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

Now 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
The lights so bright
And the palm sweat and the blackjack
On a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good, yeah 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 like
Nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving

Leaving today Las Vegas
The lights so bright
And the palm sweat and the blackjack
On a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

I'm standing in the middle of the desert
Waiting for my ship to roll in
But now no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this losin' hand
And make it win

I'm leaving Las Vegas, oh yeah
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good

I quit my job as a dancer at the Lido des Girls
They had me dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddy line between
The things you want, yeah
And the things you have to do

I'm leaving Las Vegas
The lights so bright
And the palm sweat and the blackjack
On a Saturday night
I'm leaving
And I won't be back, no, no

Leaving Las Vegas
The lights so bright
The palm sweat and the blackjack
On a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
And I won't be back
I won't be back

I think I'm gonna move anywhere
Just to get away
I think I've had it in my little life
I won't be back, no
I won't be back, no, no
Not this time
