VERSE:

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 begging my tv set

And I check the odds

And I place my bet

Pour a drink

And pull the blind

And I wonder what I'll find

CHORUS:

Leaving Las Vegas

Lights so bright

Palm sweat blackjack

On a Saturday night

Leaving Las Vegas

Leaving for good

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

BRIDGE:

I'm standing in the middle of the desert

Waiting for my ship to come in

But no joker, no jack, no king

Can take this loser hand and make it win

CHORUS

VERSE:

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

Please send corrections and comments.
