Go all the way back to the single off my first record, this
This came out in '94
And it went straight up the charts to number 58
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
From what I can recall
Now I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds
And I place my bet
Pour a drink
And I pull the blinds
And I wonder what I'll find
I'm leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
The palm sweat, the blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
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
These days it seems that
Nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
Las Vegas, oh
Lights so bright
Blackjack on a Saturday night
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 losing hand
And make it win
Oh and make it win
Leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good

I quit my job as a dancer in Lido Des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddy line between the things you want
And the things you have to do
I'm leaving Las Vegas
The lights so bright
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
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving Las Vegas

And I won't be coming back
No

I loved and lost, I'm most certain
