Reno Or Die

My Grandfather passed very quickly.  This song is about getting my Dad to Reno to say goodbye.  Grampa is with Jesus now ;)

Daddy got a phone call
That made a tear fall from his eye
Grandma called to tell him
“Son your daddy’s.. gonna die”
Its times like this
the world stands still
And you look
deep inside
I’m Asking God
for one request
let my daddy
say goodbye

The sun is setting tonight
Yes the sun is setting on Reno tonight am
Its Reno Or die

My Daddy is the oldest child
of 5 bright.. shiny stars
One blew out far too soon
Yes She was a shooting star
The youngest son a wild gun
Ohh The middle ohh so hard
And baby girl
She Still roams the world
She’s a gypsy at heart

But The suns still setting tonight
Yes the suns still setting on Reno tonight
Its Reno Or die
Yes Its Reno Or Die Yes Its Reno Or Die Yeah Reno Or Die

Now Grampa was a tough old man
Yes he worked really hard
His only vice was the love of his life
And a simple deck of cards
Its times like this
the world stands still
And you look
deep inside
I’m Asking God
for one request
let my daddy
say goodbye

But The sun’s still setting on Reno tonight
Yes the sun’s still setting with Jesus tonight
It looks like Reno Or die

Yes Its Reno Or Die
Sun sets on Reno tonight
Yes Its Reno Or Die
Sun sets on Reno tonight
Yes Its Reno Or Die
Sun sets on Reno tonight

    Darryl – this is an awesome song. I’m sure your dad will be so proud of you. Again – sorry for your loss! It’s pretty tough to lose a family member. Keep the good memories alive. Stay strong and YOU and your family are in my thoughts and prayers always. I absolutely love this song.
    Hugs to you Darryl.

    Gorgeous, deep, moving, thought provoking and my favourite part of the song is:
    My Daddy is the oldest child
    of 5 bright.. shiny stars
    One blew out far too soon
    Yes She was a shooting star
    The youngest son a wild gun
    Ohh The middle ohh so hard
    And baby girl
    She Still roams the world
    She’s a gypsy at heart….
