Reno, Nevada - Lyrics - Fairport Convention

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 is beginning to grumble And you reap just about what you've sown You can walk down the street, pass your face in the window You can go on fooling 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 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 But you can't feed your hunger and you ain't getting younger 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 and the ground underneath you is beginning to crumble And the sky up above you has grown There's a time to be grieving and a time to be screaming And a time just to stroll the wall But you ain't got the double, and it ain't worth the trouble Your feet are going nowhere at all
