Highways and dance [B] halls, [A] good song [B] takes you far
[A] [E] Ride [F#m] about the moon, [D] you [A] dream [Bm] about the stars
_ _ [A] Blues in old motel [B] rooms, [A] girls in [B] daddy's cars
[A] You [E] sing [F#m] about the night, _ [D] [A] you laugh [Bm] about the scars
_ _ [A] Coffee in the morning, cocaine [F] afternoon
[A] You [E] talk [F#m] about the weather, [D] you [A] grin about [Bm] the groom
Phone [A] calls [B] from long distance, [A] they tell you how you've been
You forget [E] about [F#m] the losses, [D] you'll [A] exaggerate [Bm] the win
_ _ _ [F#m] And when you [B] stop, let them know [F#m] you've got [D] it down
Just [A] another [Bm] town [A] along the road, [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Dm] _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[A] _ _ _ ladies come [F] to see you
If your [A] name still rings a bell, they give you [E] a damn [F#m] you're nothing
[D] And they say [C#] they knew you [Bm] well
_ So [A] you tell them you remember, but they know [F] it's just a game
[A]
And along [E] the road [F#m] their faces all [D] begin [A] to look the [Bm] same
And [A] _ when you [Bm] stop, let them [D#] know you've got it [D] down
It's [A] just another [Bm] town [A] along the road
_ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _
[B] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[A] _ _ [Dm] _ [A] It isn't for [F] the money, [A] and it's only for a while
[E] You talk about [F#m] the rules, [D] you roll [A] away [Bm] the miles
_ _ [A] Candles in [F] the neon, [A] slinging to the stars
You [E] ride about [F#m] the moon, [D] you roam [A] about the [Bm] stars
And [Em] _ [F#m] when you [B] stop, let them [D#] know you've got it [D] down
It's _ _ _ just [Bm] another town [A] along the road
_ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ [A] _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
