Letra de Leaving Las Vegas (Live from the Ryman/2019)
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 58Life 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 recallNow 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 findI'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 I'm leaving for goodUsed 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 todayLas Vegas, oh Lights so bright Blackjack on a Saturday night Leaving Las Vegas I'm leaving for good I'm leaving for goodI'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 winLeaving Las Vegas I'm leaving for goodI 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 doI'm leaving Las Vegas The lights so bright On a Saturday night Leaving Las Vegas I'm leaving for good I'm leaving for goodOh, I'm leaving Las Vegas The lights so bright On a Saturday night Leaving Las Vegas I'm leaving for goodI'm leaving Las Vegas And I won't be coming back No I loved and lost, I'm most certain Not this time
