When I was young
I left my home
and I went away
to Vegas
With my guitar
and my dreams
I had to try to
play and sing
in Vegas
But my momma told me
I was wrong
and she begged me
to stay at home
But my will was strong
and I had to make it big
in Vegas
They'll put my name up
in lights where I'm playin'
and the lines out in front
will be long
I'll get a standing
ovation from the people
when I start
to sing my song
When I turn 'em on
in Vegas
Well I've played
every Honky Tonk
and smokey bar
in Vegas
And I guess that
I don't have
what it takes
for Las Vegas
But my dreams
still linger on
though my faith
is almost gone
But my will is strong
and I gotta make it big
in Vegas
They'll put my name up
in lights where I'm playin'
and the lines out in front
will be long
I'll get a standing
ovation from the people
when I start
to sing my song
When I turn 'em on
in Vegas
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
big in Vegas
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
big in Vegas
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
big in Vegas
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
big in Vegas
