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 recall

Oh I'm banging on my Tv set and I check the odds again, and I place my bet

I pour a drink and

I pull the blinds - I wonder what I'll find

I'm leaving Las Vegas, the 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, oh, the lights so bright

Blackjack 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 make it win

I'm leaving Las Vegas,

I'm leaving Las Vegas for good

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, the lights so bright

Palm sweat blackjack on a Saturday night

Leaving Las Vegas

I'm leaving for good

I'm leaving for good

Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas, the lights so bright

Palm sweat blackjack 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

etc

I'm leaving Las Vegas

And I won't be back, no I won't be back

Not this time
