Highways and dance halls, a good song takes you far.
You write [Em] about the moon and you [G] dream about the [E] stars.
Blues and old motel rooms, girls in daddy's cars.
You sing [Em] about the [C] nights and you laugh [Bm] about the [E] scars.
[G] Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons.
You talk about the [Em] weather and you grin about the [Am] rooms.
[A] [G] Phone calls long distance to tell you how you've been.
You forget about [Em] the losses, you [G] exaggerate the wins.
[E] [Em]
When you stop to let them know you [C] got it down.
It's just another town along [G] the road.
[G]
Ladies come to see you if your name still rings a bell.
They give you damn [Em] near nothing and they'll say they knew you well.
[E]
[G] So you tell them you remember, but they know it's just a game.
And along the way their faces all begin to look the [Am] same.
[Em] When you stop to [C#] let them know [C] you got it down.
It's just another town along the [G] road.
Well [G] it isn't for the money and it's only for a while.
You stalk [Em] about the booms and you roll [Am] away the miles.
Gamblers [G] in the neon, flinging key guitars.
You write [Em] about the moon, but you're wrong [Am] about the scars.
[Em] Cause when [Am] you stop to let [C#] them know you [C] got it down.
It's just another town [G] along the road.
