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
|
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 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
|
