Reno Lyrics - Dottie West

Along the wild Texas border, was no law and order 

When Reno brought me to this land 

He was after the wild ones, the mustangs, the shy ones 

And hoping that I'd understand 

But there's too many long nights, a wife should have some rights 

It seems that it's so plain to see 

Reno my husband, oh, he loves the wild ones 

Much more than he'll ever love me 

He's riding somewhere out there with his raven black hair 

And a heart that is loving and wild 

He's too much afire with ambitious desire 

To be tied to a wife and a child 

The horses are cunning, they soon will be running 

And Reno will always be gone 

These things I'm knowing, the Rio is flowing 

And Reno, I'm goin' back home 

'Cross the Mexican border, my house all in order 

I wait for a knock on my door 

Little Juan, the small one, the son of the tall one 

So peacefully plays on the floor 

But what are these yearnings that always keep burning? 

I feel so deeply inside 

My love for Reno, my flashing young gringo 

Has suddenly vanquished my pride 

He's riding somewhere out there with his raven black hair 

And a heart that is loving and wild 

He's so much afire and with too much desire 

To be alone without a wife and a child 

The horses are cunning, they soon will be running 

And Reno will quickly be gone 

There's no more waiting, no more hesitating 

Oh, Reno, I'm coming back home 

Wait Reno, I'm coming back home
