Lyrics

I LOST IT IN RENO
Copyright 2007 by Barry Meadow

Two weeks straight of overtime and I was exhausted
Finally got a day off and I knew it would cost me
There was just one place to go, a pretty long drive
So I jumped in my truck, hoping for luck, and headed up the three- ninety-five

Yeah I lost it in Reno, down at the casino
Played craps, roulette and some keno
And there was plenty of beer
I don't remember the details but I know there were females
I went north, my paycheck went south
I had a helluva time, losing my mind in Reno

I woke up at two p.m. and my head it hurt bad
But I was smiling thinking about the wild night that I had
The slots were calling my name, and poker said "Hey!"
I played blackjack, tried for a comeback, and got me a free buffet.

Yeah I lost it in Reno, down at the casino
Played craps, roulette and some keno
And there was plenty of beer
I don't remember the details but I know there were females
I went north, my paycheck went south
I had a helluva time, losing my mind in Reno

Then after the show, I found a girl at the bar
And I'm pretty sure that things went too far
I can't remember what we shared
'Cause I was way, way, way past impaired.

Oh my head...oh my money...

Yeah I lost it in Reno, down at the casino
Played craps, roulette and some keno
And there was plenty of beer
I don't remember the details but I know there were females
I went north, my paycheck went south
I had a helluva time, losing my mind in Reno
I went north, my paycheck went south
I had a helluva time, losing my mind in Reno
