Reno

You knew everything in my eyes

You took the work an extra mile

Fixing cars to pass your time

You knew others heart's better than I did mine

Out of all the things you'd seen throughout your life wish I would have asked you

If the summer European nights were as bright as American city lights

I should know

That you would have said no

Cause you'd been down to Vegas and New York

At 16 San Francisco

Cancún Crystal Waters, south side of Lake Tahoe

The flashbacks of you hit me hard at casinos

Hope you had the time of your life down in Reno

I still see your smile

When I find

Photo books back from when I was nine

I love the three kids you raised the woman you called mine

Funny how

Times have changed

Pictures of you on the walls in black and white

One day I'll fly out to Venice, see it through my own eyes

Weren't we on the phone just the other day?

If I knew that was our last call, the things I'd say

Run the edge of the field let my tears fall away

Hold your breath and we'll act okay

I keep hoping It's you walking through the screen door

But it's only a reverie

Wonder what's left of this town?

I won't let your big dream legacy down

I've been out to Auckland, Chicago, at nineteen San Francisco to retrace your foot steps I don't want to let go

Your silent goodbye left us here in the last glow

Hope you had the time of your life down in Reno

Hope you had the time of your life down in Reno
