The Road Lyrics by Jackson Browne

The Road Lyrics

    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
