Lyrics

[00:28.56] Life springs eternal
[00:30.75] On a gaudy neon street
[00:34.75] Not that I care at all
[00:39.46] I spent the best part of my losing streak
[00:45.25] In an army jeep
[00:47.35] For what I cant recall
[00:52.19] Oh Im banging on my TV set
[00:58.16] And I check the odds
[00:59.77] And I place my bet
[01:04.25] I pour a drink
[01:06.92] And I pull the blind
[01:10.05] And I wonder what Ill find
[01:12.98]
[01:13.34] I'm leaving Las Vegas
[01:19.89] Lights so bright
[01:22.86] Palm sweat, blackjack
[01:25.14] On a saturday night
[01:26.56] Leaving Las Vegas
[01:33.15] Leaving for good, for good
[01:37.58] I'm leaving for good
[01:43.55] I'm leaving for good
[01:46.02]
[01:52.31] Used to be I could drive up to
[01:55.17] Barstow for the night
[01:58.17] Find some crossroad trucker
[02:01.09] To demonstrate his might
[02:04.33] But these days it seems
[02:06.68] Nowhere is far enough away
[02:10.48] So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
[02:13.52] Leaving Las Vegas
[02:20.66] Lights so bright
[02:22.68] blackjack on a saturday night
[02:25.15] Leaving Las Vegas
[02:31.14] I'm leaving for good
[02:34.55] I'm leaving for good
[02:37.50] for good
[02:39.96] I'm standing in the middle of the desert
[02:43.12] Waiting for my ship to come in
[02:51.15] But now no joker, no jack, no king
[02:56.19] Can take this loser hand
[02:59.05] And make it win
[03:00.96] I'm leaving Las Vegas
[03:12.52] I'm leaving Las Vegas
[03:19.11] for good
[03:22.41] for good
[03:26.26] I quit my job as a dancer
[03:29.72] At the lido des girls
[03:32.56] Dealing blackjack until one or two
[03:38.21] Such a muddly line between
[03:41.39] The things you want
[03:44.28] And the things you have to do
[03:46.76] I'm leaving Las Vegas
[03:54.46] Lights so bright
[03:57.11] Palm sweat, blackjack
[03:59.16] On a saturday night
[04:00.72] Leaving Las Vegas
[04:05.64] I'm leaving for good
[04:09.49] leaving for good
[04:11.57] Leaving Las Vegas
[04:17.86] Lights so bright
[04:20.97] Palm sweat, blackjack
[04:22.76] On a saturday night
[04:25.19] I'm leaving Las Vegas
[04:29.57] I'm leaving for good
[04:32.61] I'm leaving for good
[04:35.11] I'm leaving Las Vegas
[04:41.69] Lights so bright
[04:45.15] On a saturday night
[04:47.76] Leaving Las Vegas
[04:53.70] And I won't be back
[04:57.90] No I won't be back
[05:04.35] Not this time
