[Intro]
Em G Em G Em G Em G C D A C G Eb G Eb
[Verse]
G Eb
Highways and dancehalls
G Eb
A good song takes you far
G Em
You write about the moon
C Bm Am
And you dream about the stars
G Eb
Blues in old motel rooms
G Eb
Girls in daddy's car
G Em
You sing about the nights
C Bm Am
And you laugh about the scars
G Eb G Eb
Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons
G Em
You talk about the weather
C Bm Am
And you grin about the rooms
G Eb
Phone calls long distance
G Eb
To tell you how you've been
G Em C Bm Am
You forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins
[Refrain]
Em Am A
And when you stop to let 'em know
C
You've got it down
C Bm Am D G Eb G Eb G Eb
It's just another town along the road
[Verse]
G Eb
The ladies come to see you
G Eb
If your name still rings a bell
G Em
They give you damn near nothin'
C Bm Am
And they'll say they knew you well
G Eb
So you tell 'em you remember
G Eb
But they know it's just a game
G Em
And along the way their faces
C Bm Am
All begin to look the same
[Refrain]
Em Am A
And when you stop to let 'em know
C
You got it down
C Bm Am D G Eb G Eb
It's just another town along the road
[Verse]
G Eb
Well it isn't for the money
G Eb
And it's only for a while
G Em
You stalk about the rooms
C Bm Am
And you roll away the miles
G Eb G Eb
Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars
G Em
You're right about the moon
C Bm Am
But you're wrong about the stars
[Refrain]
Em Am A
'Cause when you stop to let 'em know
C
You got it down
C Bm Am D G Eb G Eb
It's just another town along the road
