The Warehouse Life Lyrics

The Warehouse Life

Richmond Fontaine songwriter Willy Vlautin lived in Reno in his twenties and many of his songs were inspired by his time in the Nevada city. This song is one of them. He told Uncut magazine: "I guess a lot of time I take a real life story and then make it much more dramatic. Like 'The Warehouse Life.' I used to work at a warehouse and me and this guy would get drunk on lunch break and he had a huge gambling problem. He had a bookie in Reno. If you have a bookie in Reno you're in a mess. But he didn't get beat up. He was threatened an awful lot, but his folks got him out of it." (thanks, DeeTheWriter - Saint Petersburg, Russia Federation)
