MEAT LOAF lyrics - Elvis In Vegas

I didn't take a suitcase

I had to travel light

I climbed out my bedroom window

It was just about quarter past midnight



Out on the highway

I hitched a ride

I was heading west

I had to listen to some trucker

Tell me all about the meaning of life



Got a ride just outside of Memphis

I was wild out on the road

I saw shanties and shacks

And burned out Cadillac's

And faces that glittered like gold



Shoulda seen it coming

Shoulda seen the signs

I saw seven horses running

I had a front row seat at the end of time



I was just fifteen

And the world was mine

And I watched my dreams

Come to life on that night

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas



Now since that long lost summer

I ain't ever looked back

Now the lines on my face

Are looking more like cracks



When the dreams all crumble

It's time to face the facts

I don't care about tomorrow

Oh there's no looking back



I shoulda seen it coming

Oh I shoulda seen the signs

I saw seven horses running

I had a front row seat at the end of time



I was just fifteen

And the world was mine

And I watched my dreams

Come to life on that night

I was standing tall

Thought I would never die

And I watched it all

In the white spot light



I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas



I shoulda seen it coming

Oh I shoulda seen the signs

I saw seven horses running

I had a front row seat at the end of time



When the lights went out

I heard the young girls scream

The sound of my heart beat

My heart beat

Would make the thunder proud



Well I was just fifteen

And the world was mine

The wolrd was mine

And I watched my dreams

Come to life on that night

Well I was standing tall

I was standing tall

Thought I would never die

I would never die

And I watched it all

In the white spot light



I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

I saw Elvis in Vegas

Oh I saw Elvis in Vegas
