Fortunes a Mistress by The Company Band Lyrics

Men in back stink of bad business
God help the fool from out of state
Arriving all smiles and a vanity plate
One week of luck and the sky's the limit
No holding back now, in it to win it
Old bait and switch, done it again
Tapping his fingers on the ATM
Cash advances at twenty percent
Throw out the mobile, quit paying rent
Shady motel, heavy smokers
Wedding ring and a pawnbroker
Reno Nevada, a curse on you. Fortune's a mistress seldom fooled
Reno Nevada, a curse on you. Fortune's a mistress seldom fooled
On the way to the sea, poor girl broke down
Picked up a habit, then she never left that town
Now she's working nights, leaning into cars
But the cops don't mind, because Hope don't mind
Giving Hope to the law
Reno Nevada, a curse on you. Fortune's a mistress seldom fooled
Reno Nevada, a curse on you. Fortune's a mistress seldom fooled
Vietnam veteran, bowl of nickels, bowl of gin
Conference goers, on the house
Ten went in, nine came out
Chalk one up for the tally
Quiet talking in the alley
Rent-a-coppers never fickle
About the bringing of a nickel

Reno Nevada, a curse on you. Fortune's a mistress seldom fooled
Reno Nevada, a curse on you. Fortune's a mistress seldom fooled
