Reno, Nevada - 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

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

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
