The Wrong Side Of Reno - Rocky Votolato

I hear a train whistle blowing

And it’s in key with my song

All the way on the wrong side of Reno

Where my toughest friends are from

Every broken bone and every blue black eye

In the stories of ass beatings that you’ve earned

You told me about how more than half were deserved, oh no

Something sank into that bleeding skull

A certain kind of wisdom and a humble soul

It keeps me searching no matter how many miles

Left until we get back home

You’ve been quite a traveling companion

I hate to see you go

Now the world we’re living in is Golden

Gilded with every lie we lived through

Back from the war early Christmas morning

Not even a ghost could keep him sober for you

Every broken bone and every blue black eye

In the stories of ass beatings that you returned

You told me about how more than half were deserved, oh no

Something sank into that bleeding skull

A certain kind of wisdom and a humble soul

It keeps me searching no matter how many miles

Left until we get back home

You’ve been quite a traveling companion

I hate to see you go
