At the $5.99 buffet In Reno on Thanksgiving Day Nobody seemed to care Why anyone else was there Me and my buddy Jay Watched bad cover bands play Got little drinks for free Kept betting on twenty-three We got drunk We got sad I met a girl who said she could save me She said, "I am a hug I wrap around you and I scrub You're made of dirt, my dear I scrub until you disappear That's what absolution means" You put a dollar in a slot machine Three triple bars came up We won six hundred bucks We got stoned We had s** I dreamt that I was Evel Knievel We got stoned We had s** I dreamt that I was Evel Knievel Some of this true Some of this better We got drunk We got sad I wish a met a girl who said she could save me We got stoned Did not have s** Really had that dream about Evel Knievel
