JACKSON BROWNE - The Road lyrics

rate me

Highways and dancehalls<br>A good song takes you far<br>Your write about the moon<br>And you dream about the stars<br>Blues in old motel rooms<br>Girls in daddy's car<br>You sing about the nights<br>And you laugh about the scars<br>Coffee in the morning cocaine afternoons<br>You talk about the weather<br>And you grin about the rooms<br>Phone calls long distance<br>To tell how you've been<br>Forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins<br>And when you stop to let 'em know<br>You've got it down<br>It's just another town along the road<br><br>The ladies come to see you<br>If your name still rings a bell<br>They give you damn near nothin'<br>And they'll say they knew you well<br>So you tell 'em you'll remember<br>But they know it's just a game<br>And along the way their faces<br>All begin to look the same<br>And when you stop to let 'em know<br>You got it down<br>It's just another town along the road<br><br>Well it isn't for the money<br>And it's only for a while<br>You stalk about the rooms<br>And you roll away the miles<br>Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars<br>You're right about the moon<br>But you're wrong about the stars<br>And when you stop to let 'em know<br>You got it down<br>It's just another town along the way
