Reno Blues

By Merle Haggard w/ Willie Nelson Tabbed By Larry Mofle [email protected] 11/20/2004 Way out in Reno Nevada Where romance blooms and fades A great Philadelphia lawyer Was in love with a Hollywood maid "Come love and we will wander "Down where the lights are bright "I’ll win you a divorce from your husband "And we can get married tonight." Wild Bill was a gun-totin’ cowboy Ten notches were carved in his gun An’ all the boys around Reno Left Wild Bill’s maiden alone One night when he was returning From ridin’ the range in the cold He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart Her love was as lasting as gold As he grew near her window A shadow he saw on the shade ’Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer Makin’ love to Bill’s Hollywood maid The night was as still as the desert And the moon hangin’ high overhead Bill listened a while to the lawyer He could hear ev’ry word that they said "Your hands are so pretty and lovely "Your form’s so rare and divine "Come go with me to the city "And leave this wild cowboy behind." Now back in old Pennsylvania Among the beautiful pines There’s one less Philadelphia lawyer In old Philadelphia tonight

Dans cette chanson, on raconte l'histoire d'un cowboy, Wild Bill, qui revient chez lui après une longue journée. Pendant qu'il se rapproche de la fenêtre de sa bien-aimée, il découvre que celle-ci est avec un avocat influent de Philadelphie. Ce dernier, charmant et prétentieux, est en train de séduire la belle en lui promettant une vie meilleure à Los Angeles, loin de son cowboy. La chanson met en lumière cette trahison et le destin tragique de Wild Bill, désormais un homme au cœur brisé, tandis que la silhouette de l'avocat devient celle d'un rival destructeur. Ce récit se déroule dans le cadre pittoresque de Reno, Nevada, un lieu symbolisant à la fois l'amour éphémère et les convoitises inattendues.
