Lyrics
You get a taste of security settling down
Turning in early pay day always comes around
But with a leash around my neck I can?t feel inspired
Gotta go down livin', go down livin' the high life
I?m a part of this small town but I?ve had enough
Gonna telephone the landlord gonna pack my stuff
Gonna leave a love letter for my lover let her know she?s the one
There?s a little house in Vegas that needs a little fixin' up
It?s a wide wide world
It?s a wide wide world
It?s a wide world and there?s no stop signs on the roads of love, no
There?s a little house in Vegas that needs a little fixin' up
Adios Massachusetts all green and lush
Moving transcontinental gonna try our luck
Where the sun hits the pavement and a rainstorm?s an urban legend
There?s a little house in Vegas that?s thirsty for a little love
Got my old sunglasses and I?m under the sun
In a 2-car train going 70 plus
Interstate 40 from Knoxville to Arizona
There?s a little house in Vegas, it?s calling out ?hurry up!?
It?s a wide, wide world
It?s a wide, wide world
It?s a wide world and there?s no stop signs on the roads of love, no
There?s a little house in Vegas that needs a little fixin' up
There's a little house in Vegas, thirsty for a little love
There's a little house in Vegas that needs a little fixin' up
