when i was young i left the home and 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 play, 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
