Stepped from the plane Just a young man from Texas With a southern twang That gave me away Life was a game I was taking all the chances I made up my mind I was going to play One more time There was just no limit I bet everything I was going to win Not a hint the odds were against me I heard it from the crowds Everywhere I went They were talking about Jesus On the streets of Las Vegas When you're gambling with your heart It's in the cards You'll get lost in the shuffle Between the light and the dark In this town Jesus is out there, too On the streets of Las Vegas Fortunes change hands In the brightly lit casinos If the payoff is big it'll make the front page Nobody sees what happens to the losers Out on the strip, downtown, and backstage They were talking about Jesus On the streets of Las Vegas When you're gambling with your heart It's in the cards You'll get lost in the shuffle Between the light and the dark In this town Jesus is out there, too On the streets of Las Vegas The glitters of it all can sweep you away Could someone really love you When you're walking around in the heat It's another lonely day On the streets of Las Vegas They were talking about Jesus On the streets of Las Vegas When you're gambling with your heart It's in the cards You'll get lost in the shuffle Between the light and the dark In this town Jesus is out there, too On the streets of Las Vegas
