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 VegasBut 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 VegasThey'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 VegasWell I've played every honky tonk
And smokey bar, in Vegas
And I guess I don't have
What it takes, for Las VegasBut my dreams still linger on
Oh, my faith is almost gone
But my will is strong and
I've gotta make it big, in VegasThey'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 VegasLa la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in VegasLa la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in VegasLa la la la la la la la
La la la la la, big in Vegas
