Reno Nevada

It's a long, long way down to Reno, Nevada

It's a long, long way to your home

And the change in your pocket, it's beginning to grumble

And you reap just about what you sow

You can walk down the street, pass your face in a window

You can go on fooling around

You can work night and day and take a chance on promotion

Or fall through that hole in the ground

Now there ain't no game like the game that you're playing

When you got a little something to lose

And there ain't no time like the time that you're wasting

And you waste just about what you choose

There's a man at the table, you know he's been able

To return all the odds that you lay

But you can't feed your hunger and you ain't getting younger

And your tongue, it's got nothing to say

It's a long, long way down to Reno, Nevada

It's a long, long way to your home

And the ground underneath you's beginning to crumble

And the sky up above you has grown

There's a time to be moving, there's a time to be grooving

There's a time just to climb up the wall

But the odds they've doubled and it ain't worth the trouble

And your feet are going nowhere at all

It's a long, long way down to Reno, Nevada

It's a long, long way to your home

And the change in your pocket, it's beginning to grumble

And you reap just about what you sow

You can walk down the street, pass your face in a window

You can go on fooling around

You can work night and day and take a chance on promotion

Or fall through that hole in the ground
