Leaving las vegas Sheryl Crow live from London-1996

Life springs eternal
On a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing streak
In an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds
And I place my bet
I pour a drink
And I pull the blind
And I wonder what I'll find
[Chorus]
I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
Used to be I could drive up to
Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker
To demonstrate his might
But these days it seems
Nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
[Chorus]
I'm standing in the middle of the desert
Waiting for my ship to come in
But now no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this loser hand
And make it win
[Chorus]
I quit my job as a dancer
At the Lido Des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddy line between
The things you want
And the things you have to do
[Chorus]
I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back
No I won't be back
Not this time.

There just isn't one, Not One song Sheryl sings that she has written that I don't cherish!! She's an ANGEL of 🙏 HOPE, and strength faith to not want to give up! Thank you God you sending her to be born, alive and with this incredible gift, I never ever take it for granted!

I was supposed to go to this concert in London. A 'good' friend of mine let me down at the last minute. I've regretted it ever since.

I was riding Lufthansa back from Frankfort to Miami in First Class in 1995. Next to me sitting, was the most beautiful German woman, she said, have you heard? Itsak Rabin has been assassinated? sie sagte: Hast du gehört? Itsak Rabin wurde ermordet?
