Song language: English
The Road |
| Highways and dance halls |
| A good song takes you far |
| You write about the moon |
| You dream about the stars |
| Blues in old motel rooms |
| Girls in Daddies' cars |
| You sing about the nights |
| You laugh about the scars |
| Coffee in the morning |
| Cocaine afternoons |
| You talk about the weather |
| You grin about the room |
| Phone calls long distance |
| Tell you how you’ve been |
| You’ll forget about the losses |
| You’ll exaggerate the wins |
| And when you stop to let’em know you got it down |
| It’s just another town along the road |
| The ladies come to see you |
| If your name still rings a bell |
| They’ll get you down to nothin' |
| And they’ll say they knew you well |
| You tell’em you’ll remember |
| But they know it’s just a game |
| And along the road their faces |
| All begin to look the same |
| It isn’t for the money |
| And it’s only for a while |
| You stalk about the rooms |
| You roll away the miles |
| Gamblers in the neon |
| Clinging to guitars |
| You’re right about the moon |
| But you’re wrong about the stars |
| And when you stop to let’em know you got it down |
| It’s just another town along the road |
