Sailing on Nevada 95, listening to those hot tires whine.
Baby ran away with a dealer named Ray back in Vegas,
Now I'm too blue to cry - headin' north under big desert skies.
But it's a great place to be if you're lonesome.
It's a great place to be when your heart breaks in two.
It's a great place to be if you're lonely like me,
And you need a new place to call home from.
It's a great place to be if you're lonesome.
Beatty is a far cry from Reno, but I gambled my money away.
Sold my guitar, got a job tending bar and it looks like I'm sure here to stay -
And it don't make a dang anyway.
'Cause it's a great place to be if you're lonesome.
It's a great place to be when your heart breaks in two.
It's a great place to be if you're lonely like me,
And you need a new place to call home, son.
It's a great place to be if you're lonesome.
If you're lonesome
It's a great place to be
If you're lonesome
