Big In Vegas

When I was young left my home and I went away to Vegas
With my guitar and my dreams I had to try to play and sing in Vegas
But my mama 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 put my name up in lights where I'm playing and the lines out in front will be long
I'll get a standing ovation from the people when I start to sing my songs
When I turn 'em on in Vegas
Well 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 hopes're almost gone
But my will is strong and I gotta make it big in Vegas
They put my name up in lights...
La la la la la la la la la la big in Vegas la la la la la la la la la la big in Vegas
