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 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 And I guess I don't have What it takes, for Las Vegas But my dreams still linger on Oh, 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 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 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, big in Vegas
