I woke real tired with the earth for a bed
Can't remember nothing but the colors black and red
Well a little bit of fun never hurt no one
Now I need shelter from the raging desert sun
Dragging my bones to the side of the road
Pounding in my head so loud it could explode

I'm heading on back to Reno
On the way, all the way
Heading on back to Reno
Every day, get away
Heading on back to Reno
And I say yeah

Escaping into vice in the city in the sand
But what I threw away is right back in my hand
Lost a lot of time in the land of the drought
Chasing down a feeling that I could not live without
Desert's gone cold in the dark of the night
Looking to the distance I can see a bit of light
Is it light?

I'm heading in back to Reno
On the way, all the way
Heading on back to Reno
Every day, get away
Heading on back to Reno
And I say yeah
