[Verse 1]
Way out in Reno, Nevada
Where romance blooms and fades
A great Philadelphia lawyer
Was in love with a Hollywood maid

[Verse 2]
Come, love, and we will wander
Down where the lights are bright
I'll win you a divorce from your husband
And we can get married tonight

[Verse 3: Willie Nelson]
Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy
Ten notches were carved in his gun
An' all the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill's maiden alone

[Verse 4: Willie Nelson]
One night when he was returning
From ridin' the range in the cold
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart
Her love was as lasting as gold

[Verse 5]
As he grew near her window
A shadow he saw on the shade
'Twas the great Philadelphia lawyer
Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid
[Verse 6]
The night was as still as the desert
And the moon hangin' high overhead
Bill listened a while to the lawyer
He could hear every word that they said

[Verse 7: Willie Nelson]
Your hands are so pretty and lovely
Your form's so rare and divine
Come go with me to the city
And leave this wild cowboy behind

[Verse 8]
Now back in old Pennsylvania
Among the beautiful pines
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight
