Lyrics

Bright lights how they shine, like a giant neon sign
And you can see the glow from miles away
When you’re headed downhill, to your judgment day
Fast cars and liquor stores, big casinos with big dance floors
Loud music and pretty girls who sing, and dance the night away

I got married twice in Vegas, and I watched my brother die
I sat alone in the dark with him and I had to wonder why
All the lights in Vegas just seem to fade away
When you’re laying on your deathbed
Headed for your judgment day

Loving life, and liberty, chasing that American dream
Take the best and have a blast
And then walk away, and leave a mess in your past
We all make our choices; we all live a different sin
Trusting in our own wisdom, turning heads
And giving in to the wind

I got married twice in Vegas, and I watched my brother die
I sat alone in the dark with him and I had to wonder why
All the lights in Vegas just seem to fade away
When you’re laying on your deathbed
Headed for your judgment day

Gotta be something better, there’s gotta be a better way
To have a light that shines forever
One that doesn’t, slowly fade away
In that dark room with my brother,
On my knees I cried and prayed
I told him about a light that shines forever
About Jesus and the judgment day

I got married twice in Vegas, and I watched my brother die
I sat alone in the dark with him and I had to wonder why
All the lights in Vegas just seem to fade away
When you’re laying on your deathbed
Headed for an early grave
