lyrics

it's a town like any other
filled with sisters and cousins and brothers
they've got churches, 7-11s, and jails
the desert fills the air
the stars are everywhere
down at the drugstore, beauty parlors and bars
people come from far away
to throw their money away
Las Vegas ain't no place to have a drink

it's something everybody knows
but nobody says so
it ain't the neon, it's the neutrons, that glow
you want to gamble, you ought to
but don't drink the water
Las Vegas ain't no place to have a drink
they've got an Elvis imitator who was born and raised there
and his bones are crumbling away
well sure, it's lots of fun
but the natives there die young
Las Vegas ain't no place to have a drink
