Thomas Dolby - Road to Reno lyrics

He was a crooked politician She sold bra**ieres at Sears He said he liked The Beatles And she liked Tears For Fears In a '64 Camaro He promised her the moon And they rode the open freeway On the road to Reno, yeah They had to fall in love They heard the call of love They shopped in malls for love They did it all for love They ate Mars bars for love They crashed the car for love They scratched the stars for love On the road to Reno, yeah On the road to Reno But love's got fickle fingers And they both wound up in jail 'Cause he ran a light in Palmdale With a cruiser on his tail But they broke out for the border And the road to Reno, yeah They had to fall in love They heard the call of love They shopped in malls for love They did it all for love They ate Mars bars for love They crashed the car for love They scratched the stars for love On the road to Reno, yeah On the road to Reno And when love was not enough They just put their faith in God Saw the writing on the wall Like the mountains of the moon And when all the love ran out He went out and bought a gun And he took it to their room And he filed the number off And he blew them both away To the mountains of the moon On the road to Reno, yeah They had to fall in love They heard the call of love They shopped in malls for love They did it all for love They ate Mars bars for love They crashed the car for love They scratched the stars for love On the road to Reno, yeah On the road to Reno, yeah On the road to Reno
