Lyrics: The Road

Highways and dancehalls A good song takes you far Your write about the moon And you dream about the stars Blues in old motel rooms Girls in daddys car You sing about the nights And you laugh about the scars Coffee in the morning cocaine afternoons You talk about the weather And you grin about the rooms Phone calls long distance To tell how youve been Forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins And when you stop to let em know Youve got it down Its just another town along the road The ladies come to see you If your name still rings a bell They give you damn near nothin And theyll say they knew you well So you tell em youll remember But they know its just a game And along the way their faces All begin to look the same And when you stop to let em know You got it down Its just another town along the road Well it isnt for the money And its only for a while You stalk about the rooms And you roll away the miles Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars Youre right about the moon But youre wrong about the stars And when you stop to let em know You got it down Its just another town along the way
