The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sailing on Nevada 95, listening to those hot tires whine.
Baby ran away with a dealer named Ray back in Vegas,
Now I'm too blue to cry - headin' north under big desert skies.
But it's a great place to be if you're lonesome.
It's a great place to be when your heart breaks in two.
It's a great place to be if you're lonely like me,
And you need a new place to call home from.
It's a great place to be if you're lonesome.
Beatty is a far cry from Reno, but I gambled my money away.
Sold my guitar, got a job tending bar and it looks like I'm sure here to stay -
And it don't make a dang anyway.
'Cause it's a great place to be if you're lonesome.
It's a great place to be when your heart breaks in two.
It's a great place to be if you're lonely like me,
And you need a new place to call home, son.
It's a great place to be if you're lonesome.
If you're lonesome
It's a great place to be
If you're lonesome
