 Struggling with Las Vegas? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

The Lord above made the world for us,
but the devil made Las Vegas!

Oh Las Vegas, you'll be the death of me,
city of sin oh what a mess I'm in,
look what you've done to me 

Oh Las Vegas, I'm losing everything,
why do I stay when every game I play, I just get deeper in

Hey Las Vegas, can nothing save us from you?
Night after night, watching the wheel go round
Hey Las Vegas the devil gave us to you,
One of these days, I'm gonna burn you down

One black Sunday, I came to visit you,
just for a day, to pass some time away and shoot a game or two 
Oh Las Vegas that was a year ago,
what can I do you've got me hooked on you and I can never go
