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
