ROAD - Danny O'Keefe

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 daddy's 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 you've been

Forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins

And 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 nothin'
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
And 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
And when you stop to let 'em know
You got it down
It's just another town along the way
