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...
