When I was young I left my 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'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

But 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've 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

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
