/
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 recall
/ Dus4/
Oh I'm banging on my Tv set and I check the odds again, and I place my bet
/
I pour a drink and
/
I pull the blinds - I wonder what I'll find
/
I'm leaving Las Vegas, the 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, 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
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 losing hand and make it win
/ / /
I'm leaving Las Vegas,
/ / /
I'm leaving Las Vegas for good
/
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, the 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
Palm 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, the lights so bright on a Saturday night
etc
I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back, no I won't be back
Not this time
