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
