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 place my bet. I pour a drink. And I pull the blinds. And I wonder what I'll find. I'm Leaving Las Vegas. Lights so bright. Palm sweat blackjack. 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. But these days it seems. Nowhere is far enough away. So I'm leaving Las Vegas today. I'm Leaving Las Vegas. Lights so bright. Palm sweat blackjack. On a Saturday night. Leaving Las Vegas. Leaving for good for good. I'm leaving for good. I'm leaving 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 loser hand. And make it win. I'm Leaving Las Vegas. Lights so bright. Palm sweat blackjack. On a Saturday night. Leaving Las Vegas. Leaving for good for good. I'm leaving for good. I'm leaving for good. I quit my job as a dancer. At the Lido des Girls. Dealing blackjack until one or two. Such a muddly line between. The things you want. And the things you have to do. I'm Leaving Las Vegas. Lights so bright. Palm sweat blackjack. On a Saturday night. Leaving Las Vegas. Leaving for good for good. I'm leaving for good. I'm leaving for good. I'm leaving Las Vegas. And I won't be back. No I won't be back. Not this time.
