Bruce Springsteen

Producer: Bruce Springsteen Jon Landau Chuck Plotkin Roy Bittan

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
I've got a whole lot a money just ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women just a-waitin' out there
They're all livin Devil may care
And I'm just the Devil with love to spare

Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas

How I wish that there were more
Than 24 hours in a day
But even if there were 40 more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
There's Blackjack, Poker and the Roulette Wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need is money and nerves of steel

Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas

Well, Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashing and
Your one-armed bandits crashing
All your hopes down the drain

Well, Viva Las Vegas turning day into night time
Turnin 'night into day time
If you've seen it once you'll never be the same again

SOLO

I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke, well, I'll always remember
That I had me a swinging time
I'm gonna give it every thing I got
Lady Luck won't you let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven with every shot

Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas

Viva Viva
Las Vegas

SOLO OUT

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
