Stop In Nevada

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
He always found it hard to take herShe wouldn't listen to adviceAnd though he never tried to make herShe often thought it would be niceOh, and now she's headin' out to CaliforniaIt's been a long time comin'But she's feelin' like a woman tonightAnd she left a little letter,Said she's gonna make a stop in NevadaGoodbye. Goodbye.She tried for years to be a good wifeIt never quite got off the groundAnd all those stories of the good lifeConvinced her not to hang aroundOh, and now she's headin' out to CaliforniaAnd she doesn't know what's comin'But she sure knows what she's leavin' behindAnd she left a little letter,Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada.Goodbye. Goodbye.And though she finds it hard to leave himShe knows it would be worse to stayHe wouldn't understand the reasonsThat make a woman run awayOh, and now she's headin' out to CaliforniaWith some money in her pocket,She's a rocket on the Fourth of JulyAnd she left a little letter,Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada.Goodbye. Goodbye.(Repeat last chorus)
