Sandy Denny - Reno, Nevada lyrics

rate me

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
