Elvis In Vegas

I didn't take a suitcase

I had to travel light

I climbed out my bedroom window

It was just about quarter past midnight

Out on the highway

I hitched a ride I was heading west

I had to listen to some trucker

Tell me all about the meaning of life

Got a ride just outside of Memphis

I was wild out on the road

I saw shanties' and shacks

And burnt out Cadillac's

And faces that flittered like fawn

Should have seen it coming

Oh I should have seen the signs

I saw seven horses running

I had a front row seat at the end of time

I was just fifteen

And the world was mine

And I watched my dreams

Come to life on that night

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

Now since that long lost summer

I ain't ever looked back

Now the lines on my face

Are looking more like cracks

When things all crumble

Its time to face the facts

I don't care about tomorrow

Oh there's no looking back

I should have seen it coming

Oh I should have seen the signs

I saw seven horses running

I had a front row seat at the end of time

I was just fifteen

And the world was mine

And I watched my dreams

Come to life on that night

I was standing tall

Felt I would never die

And I watched it all

In the white spot light

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I should have seen it coming

Oh I should have seen the signs

I saw seven horses running

I had a front row seat at the end of time

When the lights went out

I heard a young girl scream

The sound of my heart beat

The make up on her brow

I was just fifteen

And the world was mine

And I watched my dreams

Come to life on that night

I was standing tall

Felt I would never die

And I watched it all

In the white spot light

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

Oh I saw Elvis in Vegas
