Nevada - Frankie Big Face

I never had a better time
Than I had in Nevada

Cuervo gold and a late night date
I woke up in that silver state
Bleary-eyed and drenched in sweat
Damn dry heat but I’m soaking wet
Bloody Mary and Sugar Smacks
Hoover Dam can’t hold me back
Hit the tables and I’m on my way
Here to win and I’m here to stay

Sing along sing along
You don’t need to know the song
That white whale is calling
That white whale is calling
Sing along sing along
In the morning, it’ll all be gone

I never got a bigger shot
Than I got in Nevada

Forty to one when I place my bet
Starting gun, ain’t loaded yet
Grab some whiskey, grab my seat
Powdered nose and planted feet
Round the bend, they’re neck and neck
High as a Kite and Right Said Fred
Photo finish and I’ve made my bed
Out of luck and I’m out of bread

Sing along sing along
You don’t need to know the song
That white whale is calling
That white whale is calling
Sing along sing along
In the morning, it’ll all be gone

Nevada

I'm feeling abandoned
Like a ghost town house
And I guess this means
We left our dime store dreams in the clouds

Withering roses
Are dying back home
And the light's too stark
When you're sitting in the dark all alone

And the whiskey nights turn to ashes
With the smell of gasoline
Traded for a desert town
And methamphetamines
Why Nevada?
So far away
Why Nevada?
Why couldn't she stay?

My heart's still beating
Still puts up a fight
As my wedding band rusts
In the roadside dust tonight

There's a night owl calling
She sounds so loud
As I keep my eyes on
The shattered horizon for now

And the whiskey nights turn to ashes
With the smell of gasoline
Traded for a desert town
And methamphetamines
Why Nevada?
So far away
Why Nevada?
Why couldn't she stay?

And my calloused hands can't hold
The embers on the wind
When all my sweat and toil starts to crumblin'

And the whiskey nights turn to ashes
With the smell of gasoline
Traded for a desert town
And methamphetamines
Why Nevada?
So far away
Why Nevada?
Why couldn't she stay?

Conversation getting out of hand?
Come to scenic Nevada

Want to see great empty tracts of land?
Come to scenic Nevada

Think you have yourself a winning hand?
Come to scenic Nevada

Desert state without the Rio Grande?
That sounds just like Nevada

Eat at an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet
When you’re in Nevada

Forget about pedestrian right-of-way
When you visit Nevada

See some blue men and the music that they play
Somewhere in Nevada

Hoover Dam is not from WPA
But it is in Nevada

Another day,
Another deranged face got
Too much sun
BUT the sun keeps coming

American pie
There but for the grace of god go I
But I can't stop humming

Shout at the sky
I'm a winner, won nothing
But lights and dreams

Give me that piece of old Nevada
Gold pieces in the sand

Nevada!

I ran a fever like god
in the valley of death
flew up in the stars
Wwhere I held my breath

try to get my bearings
grabbing onto nothing
sinking like a rock
but i really don't care

fear and loathing

Give me that piece of old Nevada
Gold pieces in the sand
gold pieces in the sand

Nevada lyrics
State Shirt :)
Lyrics are pretty much about a racist guy I met that justified his actions with the phrase "well, I'm from Nevada"

======

you think you’re an outlaw
open carry in an Arby’s
you look like a moron
eat your damn roast beef
and get out of here

sit up high in your King Ranch
lifted beyond the sky
drop hitch and Moto Metals
tactical vest from Amazon
thin blue line camo cargo shorts

you say you’re from Nevada
what does that mean?
you say you’re from Nevada

please calm down with the nationalist garbage
who buys into all this tribalism nonsense?

you say you hate brown people riding their bikes to work
you rely on heated seats to keep your ass warm
and you think you’re the alpha

you call yourself a christian
but fantasize about killing
you call yourself a patriot
but you fly a tattered flag

please calm down with the nationalist garbage
who buys into all this tribalism nonsense?
surprise, the greatest problem is your own self-loathing
maybe one day you’ll learn the concept of empathy
