Leaving Las Vegas

Sheryl Crow

Tuesday Night Music Club

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, and I place my bet
I pour a drink and I, and I pull the blinds
I wonder what I'll find

I'm leaving Las Vegas
The lights so bright, palm sweat, black jack 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 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 today

Leaving Las Vegas, oh
The lights so bright, black jack on a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good, I'm leaving for good, 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 losing hand and, and make it win

I'm leaving Las Vegas
Oooh
I'm leaving Las Vegas
For good, for good

Quit my job as a dancer at the Lido des GIrls
And I'm dealing blackjack 'til one or two
Such a muddy line between the things you want and
And the things you have to do, oh

Leaving Las Vegas
The lights so bright, palm sweat, black jack on a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good, I'm leaving for good, oh

I'm leaving Las Vegas
With the lights so bright, palm sweat, and the black jack on a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good, I'm leaving for good, oh

I'm leaving Las Vegas
The lights so bright, on a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back

No, no
No, I won't be back
Not this time...
