Raised By Vegas

🎹 [Intro] (Spoken:) “…this city watched me become who I am…” [Verse 1] I learned young that this town don’t sleep Neon buzzing through the summer heat Saw the strip first through a passenger side Thinking those lights stretched into the sky Back when Fremont still felt rough around edges Back when life was smaller than the exits Every corner got a memory burned in Some I smile at… some still hurt a bit [Pre-Chorus] People come here chasing moments I grew up inside ‘em 🔥 [Chorus] I WAS RAISED BY VEGAS BY THE HEAT AND THE LIGHTS BY THE LONG WAY HOME AND THE NEVER-ENDING NIGHTS THIS CITY TOOK MY HEART BROKE IT MORE THAN ONCE BUT EVERY VERSION OF ME STILL CALLS THIS HOME 🎸 [Break] [Verse 2] Red Rock mornings clear your mind Lake Mead sunsets freeze in time Formula engines screaming downtown While old ghosts still drift around I seen people come and disappear Seen dreams hit hard out here Seen weddings, fights, and jackpots lost Seen what this city really costs But locals know there’s more beneath it Not just tourists trying to reach it It’s the desert air, the open space The strange way this town remembers your face [Pre-Chorus] I lived a thousand little lifetimes Under these same lights 🔥 [Chorus] I WAS RAISED BY VEGAS… 🌵 [Bridge] Some cities are places you visit… This one becomes part of your blood [Build] 🔥🔥 [Final Chorus] I WAS RAISED BY VEGAS BY THE BEAUTY AND THE PAIN BY THE NIGHTS THAT NEVER ENDED AND THE DAYS I COULDN’T CHANGE THIS CITY MADE ME WHO I AM FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE AND EVERY ROAD I TAKE AWAY STILL LEADS ME BACK HERE FIRST 🎹 [Outro]
