Sheryl Crow Leaving Las Vegas Lyrics
Artist - Sheryl Crow
Album - Hits and Rarities
Life springs eternal
Life springs eternal
On a gaudy neon street
On a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing streak
I spent the best part of my losing streak
In an Army Jeep
In an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my TV set
Oh I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds
And I check the odds
And I place my bet
And I place my bet
I pour a drink
I pour a drink
And I pull the blind
And I pull the blind
And I wonder what I'll find
And I wonder what I'll find
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
I'm Leaving Las Vegas
I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
Used to be I could drive up to
Used to be I could drive up to
Barstow for the night
Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker
Find some crossroad trucker
To demonstrate his might
To demonstrate his might
But these days it seems
But these days it seems
Nowhere is far enough away
Nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
Chorus
Chorus
I'm standing in the middle of the desert
I'm standing in the middle of the desert
Waiting for my ship to come in
Waiting for my ship to come in
But now no joker, no jack, no king
But now no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this loser hand
Can take this loser hand
And make it win
And make it win
Chorus
Chorus
I quit my job as a dancer
I quit my job as a dancer
At the Lido Des Girls
At the Lido Des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddy line between
Such a muddy line between
The things you want
The things you want
And the things you have to do
And the things you have to do
Chorus
Chorus
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back
And I won't be back
No I won't be back
No I won't be back
Not this time
Not this time
