Jackson Browne - The Road Lyrics
Highways and dancehallsA good song takes you farYour write about the moonAnd you dream about the starsBlues in old motel roomsGirls in daddys carYou sing about the nightsAnd you laugh about the scarsCoffee in the morning cocaine afternoonsYou talk about the weatherAnd you grin about the roomsPhone calls long distanceTo tell how youve beenForget about the losses, you exaggerate the winsAnd when you stop to let em knowYouve got it downIts just another town along the roadThe ladies come to see youIf your name still rings a bellThey give you damn near nothinAnd theyll say they knew you wellSo you tell em youll rememberBut they know its just a gameAnd along the way their facesAll begin to look the sameAnd when you stop to let em knowYou got it downIts just another town along the roadWell it isnt for the moneyAnd its only for a whileYou stalk about the roomsAnd you roll away the milesGamblers in the neon, clinging to guitarsYoure right about the moonBut youre wrong about the starsAnd when you stop to let em knowYou got it downIts just another town along the way
