Its a long long way down to reno nevada
Its a long long way to your home
And the change in your pocket its beginning to crumble
And you reap just about what you sow
You can walk down the street
Pass 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 aint no game like the game that youre playing
When youve got a little something to lose
And there aint no time like the time that youre wasting
And you waste just about what you choose
Theres a man at the table and you know hes been able
To return all the odds that you lay
And you cant feed your hunger
And you aint getting younger
And your tongue its got nothing to say

Its a long long way down to reno nevada
Its a long long way to your home
And the ground underneath you its beginning to crumble
And the sky up above you has grown
Theres a time to be grievin and a time to be screamin
And a time just to scroll on the wall
And you aint got the double
And it aint worth the trouble
Youre feeling youre going nowhere at all
