Lyrics Reno, I'm Coming Home - Roy

Reno, I'm Coming Home

Reno, I’m coming home, I swear I’ll be back soon
Left Salt Lake at midnight, home by noon
Pass out on the bench seat and sleep for half the drive
Pray we get home safe and endure the ride
Alcohol, sleep withdrawal, a diet of fast food
Reno' I’m coming home.
I’ll see you soon
Father asks, «is it worth it?
You’re broke and in debt too.»
Mother asks, «are you homesick, lonesome and blue?»
«Your twenties will soon be over and you haven’t paid your dues
Your classmates already got some years on you»
Long hard days with shitty pay ain’t enough to get you through
Father, please be proud of what I do
Reno, I’m coming home for another week or two
Then it’s back out on the road away from you
I miss you when I’m gone but I’m restless when I’m here
Just one last time and we’re done for the year
Empty halls with sparse applause yields another bad review
Reno, I’m coming home, I’ll see you soon
