Lyric Ooh Las Vegas

(Gram Parsons/Rik Grech)

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
