They're gonna put it down
Right on the strip
They're gonna put it down
On the Vegas strip
They're gonna put it down
And step outside
Into the lights
Right outta that ship

Chorus:
Saying HI!
Hi
Hi
Hi

         D#
I was driving doing nothing on
     Cm
the shores of Great Salt Lake
            G#
When they put it on the air
         Cm            A#
I put it in the hammer lane

I soon forgot about myself and
I forgot about the brake
I forgot about all laws and
I forgot about the rain

They were talking on the 9 and
all across the amy band
Across the road they were turning
around and headed south with me

It got so crowded on the road
I started driving on the sand
My head was feeling scared but
my heart was feeling free

The desert turned to mud it seems
that everybody heard
Everybody was remembering to forget
they had the chills

Then I heard the voices on a broadcast
from up on the bird
They were getting interviewed by some
Goodman whose name was Bill

I'm almost there to Vegas where they're
puttin' on a show
They've come so far I've lived this
long at least I must go and say hello.
