Ooh Las Vegas - Gram Parsons, 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 out of 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, no

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 out of 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 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 out of me

Well, I spend all night with the dealer

Tryin' to get ahead

Spend all day at the Holiday Inn

Trying 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 out of me
