The Road Lyrics by Danny O’Keefe

O’Keefe

0

[Verse 1]
Highways and dancehalls
A good song takes you far
You write about the moon
You dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in daddy's cars
You sing about the nights
You laugh about the scars

[Verse 2]
Coffee in the mornings
Cocaine afternoons
You talk about the weather
You grin about the room
Phone calls long distance
To tell you how you've been
You'll forget about the losses
You'll exaggerate the wins

[Chorus]
And when you stop to let 'em know you got it down
It's just another town along the road

[Verse 3]
The ladies come to see you
If your name still rings a bell
They give you damn near nothin'
And they say they knew you well
So you tell 'em you remember
But they know it's just a game
And along the road their faces
All begin to look the same

[Chorus]
And when you stop to let 'em know you got it down
It's just another town along the road

[Verse 4]
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
You're wrong about the stars

[Chorus]
And when you stop to let 'em know you got it down
It's just another town along the road
