It's a long way down to Reno Ne vada
It's a lon g way to your home
And the ch ange in your po cket it's be ginnig to gr umble
And you re ap just a bout what you sow
You can wal k down the str eet
Pass your fac e in a win dow
you can go f ooling ar ound
you can wor k night and day take a cha nce on promotion
you can fall through a hole in the groun d
Now there a in't no gam e like the ga me that you're p laying
When you've go t a little s omething to lose
And there ain't no t ime like the ti me that you'r e wasting
And you was te just ab out what you c hoose
There's a ma n at the ta ble and you kn ow he's been ab le
To ret urn all the odds that you l ay
But you c an't feed your hunger A nd you ain't getting younger
And your tounge it's got nothing to s ay
It's a long way down to Reno Ne vada
It's a long way to your ho me
And the gr ound undernea th you it's b eginning to t remble
And the sk y up abo ve you has g rown
There's a t ime to be m oving a tim e to be gro ving
And a ti me just to climb up the wa ll
But the o dds they've doubled
And it a in't worth the trouble
and you're n ever going nowhere at all
It's a long way down t o Reno N evada
It's a lon g way to your h ome
And th e ground undern eath you it 's beginning t o tremble
And the sk y up abov e you has gr own
There's a m an at the t able and you kn ow he's been ab le
To retu rn all the odds that you l ay
But you c an't feed your hunger
And you a in't getting younger
And your tounge it's got nothing to say
