Vegas

Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
'Cause somebody told me that's where dreams would be
Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
Finally see my name upon the Palace marquis
Gonna quit my job and move to New York
'Cause somebody told me that's where dreamers should go
I'm gonna quit my job and move to New York
And tattoo my body with every Broadway show
Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame, no money, I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down on my knees
But next stop, Vegas please
Gotta get to Vegas
Can you take me to Vegas?
Gonna sell my house and cross the border
'Cause somebody told me dreams live in Mexico
Gonna sell my house
I go to lose ten pounds and cross the border
And make sweet love upon the white sandy shore
Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame, no money, I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down on my knees
But next stop, Vegas please
It's always just around the corner or you're on your way to somewhere
That is bigger, better
If you could only get there
It's never your fault you can't start your own winning streak
But I'd hate to lose you to the fortune you seek
I'm gonna lose my mind and sail the ocean
Cause somebody told me there were cherry blue skies
I'm gonna fix my mind with a final destination
And have a deep sleep upon the sweet dream I'll never realize
No
Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
You can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame, no money, I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down on my knees
But next stop, Vegas please
Can you take me to Vegas?
I need to see Vegas
Can you take me to Vegas?
