Reno Nevada lyrics

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

And a long, long way to your home

But the change in your pocket is beginning to grumble

And you reap just about what you've sown

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

You can keep on fooling around

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

You can fall through a hole in the ground

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

When you got a little something to lose

And there ain't no time like the the time you been 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

Hey, but you can't feed your hunger and you ain't getting younger

And your tongue ain't got nothing to say

And it's a long, long way down to Reno Nevada

And a long, long way to your home

But the ground underneath you is beginning to tremble

And the sky up a above you has grown

There's a time to be moving and a time to be grooving

And a time just for climbing the wall

But the odds have been doubled and it ain't worth the trouble

And you're never going nowhere at all

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

And a long, long way to your home

But the change in your pocket is beginning to grumble

And you reap just about what you've sown

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

To return all the odds that you lay

Hey, but you can't feed your hunger and you ain't getting younger

And your tongue ain't got nothing to say
