Leaving las Vegas Lyrics

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 from what I can recallOh, I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds and I, and I place my bet
I pour a drink and I pull the blinds
I wonder what I'll findI'm leaving Las Vegas
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 goodUsed to be I could drive up to Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker to demonstrate his might
These days it seems that nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas todayLeaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright, blackjack on a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good, I'm leaving for good

For goodI'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 loser hand and, and make it winI'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving Las Vegas
For good, for goodI quit my job as a dancer at the Lido des Girls
And we're dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddy line between the things you want
And the things you have to doI'm leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright, palm sweat, blackjack on a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good, leaving for goodOh, I'm leaving Las Vegas
And the lights so bright, palm sweat, and the blackjack on a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good, I'm leaving for goodI'm leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright on a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back, no, no
No, won't be back, not this time

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Jimmy Kane

Jimmy Kane was originally born in London, England where he lived for 8 years. It was there where he began taking classical piano lessons at the age of 4. After a 2 year stint in the city of Hong Kong, he moved to California in 1994 with his mother and has been there since. Being involved in academic music programs his whole life, and taking numerous private lessons, Jimmy thought it be a good idea to start a band in 1997, thus the band "Overlooked" was born. Since then, he has played in numerous bands on drums, bass and guitar, and has played all over the southern California circuit, including the Vans Warped Tour on '02 on the Drive Thru Records stage. But after years of playing in and out of bands, he realized that the biggest downfall for most bands were themselves. Some bands just reach a point where they get "too big for their britches" and practices turn into unproductive arguments of ego.

In 2006, Kane took a trip to Ashland, Oregon and began writing the songs that would be the album, "Shades of Grey". He then spent 3 months in Europe, losing/finding himself... all the while writing and polishing his songs that seemed to pour out of him at the time. Upon returning to California, he moved to Hollywood where he began attending class at the Musician's Institute. He was enrolled in the Recording Artist Program, which enabled him to learn the basics of recording engineering and it gave him the chance to record his music. Read more on Last.fm.
