Lyrics
Vegas
Tamara Grigsby
I was walking down the street one morning
Smoking my cigarette
Watching cars speed through the stop sign
Past the parking lot
Now I'm a true believer in things that go fast
That go bump in the night
But I'm losing sleep walking these streets
in the early light
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh...................................yeah
Oon, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh...................................yeah
I was drinking my coffee on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Flamingo
Shooting the breeze with a bald guy in a white sport coat, red pants, and snakeskin boots
Out of nowhere, a black and white El Camino goes cruisin' on by
He says, "Sorry Mam. I gotta go. Gotta catch my ride."
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh...................................yeah
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh...................................yeah
Walking down the strip, I wound up at the Sam's Town All You Can
Eat Breakfast Buffet
Stood in a long line and I saw Elvis and the La Cage Review
Found bits of ham and cheese floating around
in my egg casserole
And a waitress named Gloria witha poodle doo
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh..................................yeah
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh................................. yeah
Got back to my hotel room, kicked off my shoes, and hung up my clothes
Outside my window, the sun was shining bright
Not a cloud in the sky
Closed the drapes and hung up the Do Not Disturb as the maids
walked by
Hoping that Vegas would go to sleep
Just one more time
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh.....................................yeah
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh.....................................yeah
