[00:28.49]Life springs eternal on a gaudy, neon street
[00:34.79]Not that I care at all
[00:37.55]
[00:40.53]I spent the best part of my losing streak
[00:44.79]In an army Jeep from what I can recall
[00:49.15]
[00:52.14]Oh, I'm banging on my TV set
[00:56.22]
[00:58.15]And I check the odds and I, and I place my bet
[01:03.53]
[01:04.21]I pour a drink and I pull the blinds
[01:09.02]
[01:10.08]I wonder what I'll find
[01:12.83]I'm leaving Las Vegas
[01:16.70]
[01:19.94]Lights so bright, palm sweat,
[01:23.71]blackjack on a Saturday night
[01:26.77]Leaving Las Vegas
[01:29.83]
[01:33.20]Leaving for good, for good
[01:37.19]
[01:37.75]I'm leaving for good
[01:40.62]
[01:43.56]I'm leaving for good
[01:45.30]
[01:52.29]Used to be I could drive up to Barstow for the night
[01:56.78]
[01:58.16]Find some crossroad trucker to demonstrate his might
[02:03.15]
[02:04.40]These days it seems that nowhere is far enough away
[02:09.25]
[02:10.32]So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
[02:13.44]Leaving Las Vegas
[02:17.19]
[02:20.80]Lights so bright, blackjack on a Saturday night
[02:25.11]I'm leaving Las Vegas
[02:28.80]
[02:30.85]I'm leaving for good, I'm leaving for good
[02:36.03]
[02:37.40]For good
[02:38.77]
[02:40.02]I'm standing in the middle of the desert
[02:42.51]
[02:43.10]Waiting for my ship to come in
[02:46.72]
[02:51.33]But now no Joker, no Jack, no King
[02:55.14]
[02:56.33]Can take this loser hand and, and make it win
[03:00.68]I'm leaving Las Vegas
[03:04.52]
[03:12.58]I'm leaving Las Vegas
[03:16.15]
[03:19.15]For good, for good
[03:23.33]
[03:26.39]I quit my job as a dancer at the Lido des Girls
[03:31.31]
[03:32.43]And we're dealing blackjack until one or two
[03:36.30]
[03:39.18]Such a muddy line between the things you want
[03:43.17]
[03:44.29]And the things you have to do
[03:46.98]I'm leaving Las Vegas
[03:52.23]
[03:54.40]Lights so bright, palm sweat,
[03:58.35]blackjack on a Saturday night
[04:00.83]Leaving Las Vegas
[04:04.40]
[04:05.77]I'm leaving for good, leaving for good
[04:10.95]Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas
[04:15.43]
[04:17.88]And the lights so bright, palm sweat,
[04:22.24]and the blackjack on a Saturday night
[04:25.18]I'm leaving Las Vegas
[04:28.11]
[04:29.60]I'm leaving for good, I'm leaving for good
[04:34.48]
[04:35.22]I'm leaving Las Vegas
[04:39.72]
[04:41.77]Lights so bright on a Saturday night
[04:47.02]
[04:47.89]Leaving Las Vegas
[04:50.64]
[04:53.69]And I won't be back, no, no
[04:59.00]
[05:00.43]No, won't be back, not this time
