Lyrics

0:37Highways and dance halls
0:40A good song takes you far
0:44Your write about the moon
0:46And you dream about the stars
0:52Blues in old motel rooms
0:56Girls in daddy's car
1:00You sing about the nights
1:02And you laugh about the scars
1:12Coffee in the morning coc*ine afternoons
1:19You talk about the weather
1:22And you grin about the rooms
1:29Phone calls long distance
1:31To tell you how you've been
1:35You forget about the losses you exaggerate the wins
1:45When you stop to let 'em know
1:49You've got it down
1:54It's just another town along the road
2:13The ladies come to see you
2:16If your name still rings a bell
2:20They give you damn near nothing
2:23And they'll say they knew you well
2:29So you tell 'em you'll remember
2:32But they know it's just a game
2:36And along the way their faces
2:39All begin to look the same
2:46When you stop to let 'em know
2:50You got it down
2:59It's just another town along the road
3:10Well it isn't for the money
3:13And it's only for a while
3:17You stalk about the rooms
3:20And you roll away the miles
3:26Gamblers in the neon clinging to guitars
3:33You're right about the moon
3:36But you're wrong about the stars
3:42Cause when you stop to let 'em know
3:46You got it down
3:52It's just another town along the road
Highways and dance halls
A good song takes you far
Your write about the moon
And you dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in daddy's car
You sing about the nights
And you laugh about the scars
Coffee in the morning coc*ine afternoons
You talk about the weather
And you grin about the rooms
Phone calls long distance
To tell you how you've been
You forget about the losses you exaggerate the wins
When you stop to let 'em know
You've 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 give you damn near nothing
And they'll say they knew you well
So you tell 'em you'll remember
But they know it's just a game
And along the way their faces
All begin to look the same
When you stop to let 'em know
You got it down
It's just another town along the road
Well it isn't for the money
And it's only for a while
You stalk about the rooms
And 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
Cause when you stop to let 'em know
You got it down
It's just another town along the road
