Big City Livin’ by: Skye Evans and Ryan Spangler Intro: This is a song about our little city.......well...... big city......wait ..... Biggest Little City in the World 
 Verse 1 (Ryan)
: Well Reno, Nevada is a lot like Vegas 
 but with more meth users and higher minimum wages and other cities think Reno’s just a joke 
 but that’s more of an opinion like Pepsi Vs. Coke 
 cause if you've been here, you really should know 
 we’ve got strip joints, slot machines and even Lake Tahoe 
 and even though our city's kind of small we put the "Little" in our City and "Biggest" in our People 
 I Love Reno, there’s so much to do here 
 you can hangout at the mall or go to the movie theatre 
 ....... 
 Or you can..umm...well that's about it Call up your friends and go to the river 
 be a gold miner but instead find silver 
 cause we're the "Silver State" and we hate gold 
 but if you find some its probably pretty valuable 
 or you can come here on your vacation 
 but I must warn you there's no vegetation 
 Before you leave you'll need a vaccination 
 or you might die of dehydration 
 I'm just playin but let's be serious 
 you might leave Reno feelin' a bit delirious 
 Like you missed some of its potential 
 but realize that it's not essential 
 cause Reno, Nevada is one of my favorite places 
 we even got the National Balloon Races 
 so if there's ever place that you should ever go 
 you might as well take a trip down to Mexico! I mean RENO!!!! Chorus: Big city livin' in the 775 It ain't bad, but I'll probably leave before I die We were once small, a town known for its excess This biggest little city may be bigger than you expect big city livin' in the 775 it ain't bad, but I hope I leave before I die All the out of towners trying to get up on the guest list but Reno, Nevada ain't as big as your ex is. Verse 2 (Skye): I wake up in the mornin’ and I step out the door and the music blasts loud as the pedal hits the floor Everywhere I pass, people are flashin photographs Takin pictures to remind themselves of places in the past Under the big arch is where the people go to hang Hookers, bums, and tourists; gambling is their game If you walk further south all you see is kids skatin’ And the dumb scene kids who are hatin’ (playa hatin’) The juggalos be rallyin’, gettin’ down with wicked clowns I still don’t understand why they always be face paintin frowns Cause the river is the place that stays so diverse People doin’ what they do, but not meth cuz that’s worse Nevada may be the biggest state for meth use I’ve never seen anyone in Reno do it, but that’s no excuse Because the drugs hit your system and you escape the pain But living in Reno, why would you not want to stay sane? You can rather go ride a bike, or go take the chance and take the dive The water is so refreshing, floating away you feel alive Go fly a kite or stay out late and watch the stars But stay away from 4th Street, you’ll come back with some scars Always have protection and a buddy at all times We may be pretty safe but that doesn’t prevent the crime Living in Reno, I hope you heed my advice Don’t do drugs and don’t rave, trust me playa', stay alive Chorus Big city livin' in the 775 It ain't bad, but I'll probably leave before I die We were once small, a town known for its excess This biggest little city may be bigger than you expect big city livin' in the 775 it aint bad, but I hope I leave before I die All the out of towners trying to get up on the guest list but Reno, Nevada ain't as big as your ex is. Verse 3 (ryan) Well I get up in the morning smelling Reno air and it smells like farts but who could really care? I go to the window and stare outside Reno is my home so I show my pride by.... playing video games all day Verse 4 (trade Off) I bet you didn’t know Reno’s "reindeer" in Spanish And if you try to leave us you just might vanish We’re like The Twilight Zone but much worse Actually we’re opposites so we’re more diverse (talking blah blah) Cuz Reno’s like a monkey going branch to branch One second you’re here and then at Mustang Ranch But at this ranch there’s really no horses Just a lot of men with a lot of divorces So when you come to Reno carry some mace And when you spray a stranger show em your poker face and you can check out our MySpace Chorus Big city livin' in the 775 It ain't bad, but I'll probably leave before I die We were once small, a town known for its excess This biggest little city may be bigger than you expect big city livin' in the 775 it aint bad, but I hope I leave before I die All the out of towners trying to get up on the guest list but Reno, Nevada ain't as big as your ex is.

about

This song was written back in 2009 while we were still in high school. We felt that Reno needed an anthem and this song was what we named our first album after. This new, revamped version finally does the song justice and we present it here in all its glory.
