Leaving Las Vegas

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

The lights so bright
I'm leaving
Life springs eternal on a gaudy neon street
I quit my job as a dancer at the Lido des Girls
They had me dealing blackjack until one or two
Not that I care at all

Leaving today Las Vegas
I spent the best part of my losing streak
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I think I'm gonna move anywhere
Can take this losin' hand
The lights so bright
Used to be I could drive up
But these days it seems like
I pour a drink and I pull the blinds
Nowhere is far enough away
The lights so bright
So I'm leaving
I won't be back, no
But now no joker, no jack, no king
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

The lights so bright
On a Saturday night

And the palm sweat and the blackjack
I'm leaving for good
I won't be back
And the palm sweat and the blackjack
I'm leaving Las Vegas
The things you want, yeah
I'm leaving for good

On a Saturday night
To Barstow for the night
I'm leaving for good, yeah for good
Find some crossroad trucker
And I won't be back
I'm standing in the middle of the desert
The palm sweat and the blackjack
Now I'm banging on my TV set
Leaving Las Vegas
Just to get away
I'm leaving Las Vegas
In an army jeep for what I can't recall
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving Las Vegas

To demonstrate his might

Such a muddy line between

And I won't be back, no, no
And the things you have to do
And I wonder what I'll find
On a Saturday night
And make it win

And the palm sweat and the blackjack
I'm leaving for good
On a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I check the odds and I place my bet
I won't be back, no, no
Waiting for my ship to roll in
I think I've had it in my little life
