She will be waiting in Reno with love warm and tender

She loves and wants me and her love to me she'll surrender

This girl with the black eyes and skin touched by hot winds and sunshine

Will be waiting in Reno tonight

And this is the night she'll be mine



Waiting in Reno for my arms to find her and hold her

Waiting and hoping that I will not be far behind her

Black eyes and red ruby lips, excitement in her finger tips,

Passion is there on her lips

She'll be waiting in Reno tonight



It's been so long since I've seen her but I still remember

The tears in her dark eyes when I said that I had to leave her

And the way that her lips stayed on mine like a warm burning ember

She'll be waiting in Reno tonight

This is the night she'll be mine



Waiting in Reno for my arms to find her and hold her

Waiting and hoping that I will not be far behind her

Black eyes and red ruby lips, excitement in her finger tips,

Passion is there on her lips,

She'll be waiting in Reno tonight
