Reno, Nevada Lyrics - Sandy Denny

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
