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
