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 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...

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...

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..

Gram Parsons  "Grievous Angel"
