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 burnt out Cadillac's
And faces that flittered like fawn


Should have seen it coming
Oh I should have 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 things all crumble
Its time to face the facts
I don't care about tomorrow

Oh there's no looking back

I should have seen it coming

Oh I should have 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

Felt 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



[Instrumental]



I should have seen it coming
Oh I should have 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 a young girl scream
The sound of my heart beat

?The make up on her brow?

I was just fifteen

And the world was mine
And I watched my dreams
Come to life on that night

I was standing tall
Felt 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
