Couldn't roll me a seven if you gave me a load dice
I couldn't draw hand if I sat here all night
Scared money, bad whiskey; there ain't no way to win
This ain't the first time--it's the way it's always been

Chorus:
And you the lady's a lot like Reno
She ain't got a heart, and she don't care when you're down
Just like the lights of the casino
She'll pull you in and play with you a while
But there ain't no way to win, I know
She's a lot like Reno

They're both out to break you and take everything you got
When you finally win the hand, there ain't nothing in the pot
A gamble that I'm taking, that either one I choose
The lady or Reno, either way I lose

Chorus twice

Couldn't roll me a seven if you gave me loaded dice
