About

Stop In Nevada is the 7th song on Piano Man. The song depicts a woman leaving her husband to live a happier life. The song was inspired by the music scene in LA in the 60s, more specifically Jimmy Webb and Charlie Rich. If you listen closely, you can hear Joel putting on an accent in the beginning.

Stop In Nevada Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He always found it hard to take her
She wouldn't listen to advice
And though he never tried to make her
She often thought it would be nice

[Chorus]
Oh, and now she's headin' out to California
It's been a long time comin'
But she's feelin' like a woman tonight
And she left a little letter
Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye. Goodbye

[Verse 2]
She tried for years to be a good wife
It never quite got off the ground
And all those stories of the good life
Convinced her not to hang around

[Chorus]
Oh, and now she's headin' out to California
And she doesn't know what's comin'
But she sure knows what she's leavin' behind
And she left a little letter
Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye. Goodbye

[Bridge]
And though she finds it hard to leave him
She knows it would be worse to stay
He wouldn't understand the reasons
That make a woman run away

[Chorus]
Oh, and now she's headin' out to California
With some money in her pocket
She's a rocket on the Fourth of July
And she left a little letter
Said she's gonna make a stop in Nevada
Goodbye. Goodbye
