Rodney Crowell
Ooh Las Vegas
[Chorus]
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city
You know you're going to make a wreck outta me

[Verse 1]
The first time I lose, I drink whiskey
And the second time, I lose I drink gin
Third time I lose, I drink anything
Because I think I'm going to win

[Chorus]
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city
You know you're going to make a wreck outta me

[Verse 2]
Now the queen of spades is a friend of mine
The queen of hearts is a bitch
Someday when I clean up my mind
I'll find out which is a which
[Chorus]
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city
You know you're going to make a wreck outta me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Spend all night with the dealer
Just trying to get ahead
Spend all day at the Holiday Inn
Just trying to get out of bed

[Chorus]
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Ooh, Las Vegas
Ain't no place for a poor boy like me
Every time I hit your crystal city
You know you're going to make a wreck outta me

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Every time I hit your crystal city
You know you're going to make a wreck outta me
Every time I hit your crystal city
You know you're going to make a wreck outta me
