You sit in silence 'cause the only radio in your town is Foghat and CreedYou check the mileage and you can't go to college 'cause those books are still so hard to readAnd it doesn't seem like anything will change and the mountains make damn sure you're gonna stayThe girls all think you're strange and your parents, they suspect that you're gayYou can't believe you're alone in this trailer as your senior prom is startingYou can't believe you're alone in this trailer as your senior prom is startingBut the loneliest boy in the state of Nevada doesn't feel much like a partyShe drives by in the suped-up pick-up of that boyfriend she's got up in SparksYou won't cry, but you'll punch your locker until the dented metal bears your marksAnd just when you're sure she sees you, it turns out she's just waving at a friendShe's too kind to tease you, but she's too good to wind up with you in the endYou can't believe in thise whole goddamn desert, she only lives two blocks awayYou can't believe in this whole desert she lives two blocks awayBut the loneliest boy in the state of Nevada can't find the right words to sayThey're waiting there, waiting for you in the parking lot outside the OdeonAnd you're not scared 'cause you've got five shotgun shells that say they won't call you faggot againThey drive off in their I-Rocs and you wipe the face from your tearsThese strip malls are like cell blocks and you've been locked up for the past eighteen yearsYou can't believe you feel so old but when you drive up to Reno you can't get into barsYou can't believe that when you can, it'll be better or heal any scarsThe loneliest boy in the state of Nevada is spending the night with the starsSongtexteYou swear by the gun in your hand your next night alone will be your lastYou understand, just like in the past, they're only idle threatsYou've got responsibilities and debts and you're not that strongBut if things keep carrying on, they're responsibilities you just might forgetIt's getting cold, you pick up your mistakes and walk into the nightIt's getting cold, you pick up your mistakes and walk into the nightThe loneliest boy in the state of Nevada is gonna be alright Aus Songtexte Mania
