COWBOY JUNKIES LYRICS - Ooh Las Vegas

"Ooh Las Vegas"



Ooh, Las Vegas

Ain't no place for a poor girl like me

Ooh, Las Vegas

Ain't no place for a poor girl like me

Every time I hit your crystal city you know

You're gonna make a wreck outta 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 girl like me, no

Ooh, Las Vegas

Ain't no place for a poor girl like me

Every time I hit your Crystal City you know

You're gonna make a wreck outta me



Well, the Queen of Spades is a friend of mine

The Queen of Hearts, she's 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 girl like me

Ooh, Las Vegas

Ain't no place for a poor girl like me

Every time I hit your Crystal City you know

You're gonna make a wreck outta me



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

Ain't no place for a poor girl like me

Ooh, Las Vegas

Ain't no place for a poor girl like me

Every time I hit your Crystal City you know

You're gonna make a wreck outta me



[Margo obviously changes the original "boy" for "girl"]
