Well, 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
You reap just about what you sow
You can walk down the street, press your face in a window
Or go on foolin' around
You can work night and day and take a chance on promotion
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
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
Your tongue it's got nothing to say
And it's a long, long way down to Reno, Nevada
A long, long way to your home
And the ground underneath you, it's beginning to tremble
The sky up above you has grown
There's a time to be movin', time to be groovin'
A time to climb up the wall
But the odds they've doubled and it ain't worth the trouble
And you're never going nowhere at all
And it's a long, long way down to Reno, Nevada
A long, long way to your home
And the change in your pocket, it's beginning to grumble
You reap just about what you sow
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 gettin' younger
Your tongue it's got nothing to say
Thank you
