It's a long, long way down
To Reno Nevada
It's a long, long way to your home
Know the change in your pocket
Is beginning to grumble
And you reap just about
What you've sown
You can walk down the street
By your face in the window
You can keep on moving 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 been playing
When you got a little something to lose
And there ain't no time
Like 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
Now you can't feed your hunger
And you ain't getting younger
And your tongue
Ain't got nothing to say
It's a long, long way down
To Reno Nevada
It's a long, long way to your home
Know 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
