Lyrics

Song: To Springsteen's "Thunder Road"

The front door slams this past Sunday
Michael’s comin’ to cook on ‘his’ gas grill as the Redskins game plays
Oh Elizabeth’s stretched out on the sofa
But in one quarter the whole season’s over
They’re choking dogs again I best go boil some eggs again.

Nigel runs back inside and no one knows what he’s here for
And you’re scared to start drinking cause baby you ain’t remotely young any more
Show a little faith the Nats are still alive
It ain’t football but, meh, it’s alright
Oh and that’s alright with me

Tonight, as Griffin writhes in his pain
And Deshawn’s taking advil and hoping it’s just a sprain
Ol’ Dan Snyder’s praying in vain
to somehow fill all these seats
And Gruden’s a goner it’s understood
There’s nothing left to do but go pick up some Chinese food
There’s that place in Tenleytown
But they won’t deliver now,

Maybe
Take Connecticut and try to hang a right somewhere
There’s construction on Nebraska and River has red lights everywhere
I’ve got one last chance to make it real
To bring everyone a hot meal
Eggrolls in the bag hope they’re not the kind to cook a cat

Oh-oh the post game’s on
But I’m more concerned about this errand I’ve gotta run
Oh-oh Reno Road oh Reno Road Oh Reno Road
41st traps you like a python in the sun
And I won’t take Wisconsin ever since Hechinger’s is gone
Oh Reno Road, Much love! It’s gold!
Reno Road
