Lyrics Leaving Las Vegas

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 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
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 into
Soho 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 today Las Vegas
I'm Leaving Las Vegas
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

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 loser hand
And make it win
And make it win

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
I’m leavin’ for good

So guess what
I’m playin’ in Central Park tonight
But I’ve got some special friends that’ll be coming out later
You can be patient right
Can’t ya
For little old me
Be very patient

I quit my job as a dancer
At the 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
Lights so bright
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
And I won't be back
No I won’t be back

I think I’ve had it with my life
I think I can live in an apartment in New York City
And meet a nice young man
‘Bout ten years younger than myself
Get married and have a bunch o’ kids
Be happy ever after
Quit playin’ rock ‘n’ roll
No! No I won’t!
I won't be back
No no no no
