Well, I remember the days when we owned this town   Singing along and passing bottles around   Then one night you got caught in the trap   And ever since then we can never look back   Now you're living by the toss of the dice   You lost your job and you lost your wife   Now you're living on the edge of the knife   Flowing from a stream of bad advice   Bad advice has led you here   You're a bullet gone straight, you're an empty mirror   Well bad advice will set you up   And bring you down faster than the shot of a gun   Well it was yesterday that you called me up   From a Sin City bar full of ashes and dust   You said you were down to your very last dime   And you could pay me back in a matter of time   I'm not going down that road again   So I screamed out loud 'go find another friend'   But the honest truth is cold as ice   I'm the one who gave the bad advice   Bad advice has led you here   You're a bullet gone straight, you're an empty mirror   Well bad advice will set you up   And bring you down faster than the shot of a gun   You tried to hold onto the glow of the past   You've been cut off, and this call is your last   Sucked into the pull of the Reno lights   You're a real high roller living in the low life   The news came back that shots were fired   You lay face down like the king you desired   The simple truth is the curse of my life   'Cos I'm the one who gave the bad advice   Bad advice has led you here   You're a bullet gone straight, you're an empty mirror   Well bad advice will set you up   And bring you down faster than the shot of a gun   Bad advice, bad advice   Bad advice will set you up   And bring you down faster than the shot of a gun
