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 crumble And you reap just about what you sow You can walk down the street Pa** your face in a window You can go on foolin' around You can work night and day take a chance on promotion You can fall through a hole in the ground Well there ain't no game like the game that you're playing When you've 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 and you know he's been able To return all the odds that you lay And 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 it's beginning to crumble And the sky up above you has grown There's a time to be grievin' and a time to be screamin' And a time just to scroll on the wall And you ain't got the double And it ain't worth the trouble You're feeling you're going nowhere at all
