Reno

Intro: We met in Louisiana On my way to Atlanta She was playing in a bar With an old guitar and a heavy heart She stood there on the stage With that spotlight on her face She sang a song I love And I held onto every word And I said, what is it that drives you to create? She said, I never had a choice to make It chose me long before I wrote a song I’m just playing along boy He flew out from New York To a spot down by the shore He said he left when he was young But you always miss the place you’re from So he came back to the islands To paint with red, blue, and violets I bought a picture that I loved And I couldn’t wait to hang it up And I said, what is it that drives you to create? He said, I never had a choice to make It chose me long before I made it here It’s what I feel boy She got a gig out there in Reno Playing late nights at casinos And he flew up to play some hold ’em She caught his eye as he was foldin’ They got married three months late He said, when you find the one you don’t date her And I drove west to play their wedding And I cried like a baby And I said, what is it that drives you to create? They said, we never had a choice to make It chose us long before we ever met It’s love and nothing else boy It’s love and nothing else boy
