Big In Vegas Lyrics


Buck Owens Big In Vegas

Songwriters: Owens, Buck; Stafford, Terry Laverne;

When I was young, I left my home
And went away, to Vegas
With my guitar and my dreams
I had to try to play and sing, in Vegas

But my momma told me I was wrong
And she begged me to stay at home
But my will was strong and
I had to make it big, in Vegas

They'll put my name up in lights where I play
And the lines out in front will be long
I'll get a standing ovation from the people
When I start to sing my song, when I turn 'em on in Vegas

Well I've played every honky tonk
And smokey bar, in Vegas
And I guess I don't have
What it takes, for Las Vegas

But my dreams still linger on
Oh, my faith is almost gone
But my will is strong and
I've gotta make it big, in Vegas

They'll put my name up in lights where I play
And the lines out in front will be long
I'll get a standing ovation from the people
When I start to sing my song, when I turn 'em on in Vegas

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in Vegas

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, big in Vegas

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la, big in Vegas
