Ooh Las Vegas — Emmylou Harris

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 gonna make a wreck outta me

Well, the first time I lose I drink whiskey Second time I lose I drink gin Third time I lose I drink anything 'cause I think I'm gonna win

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 gonna make a wreck outta me

Well, 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

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 gonna make a wreck outta me

Well, I spend all night with the dealer Tryin' to get ahead Spend all day at the Holiday Inn Tryin' to get out of bed

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 gonna make a wreck outta me
