Lyrics

Highways and dancehalls
A song takes you far
You dream about the nights
And you dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
The 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
They'll tell you how you've been
You'll forget about the losses
You'll exaggerate the wins
And when you stop just to let them know
You've got it down
It's just another town along the road
Well, the ladies come to see you
If your name still rings a bell
They'll give you damn near nothing
And they'll say they knew you well
They'll say that you remember
But you know it's just a game
And all along the way their faces
All begin to look the same
And when you stop just to let them know
You've 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
So you talk about the ruins
And you roll away the miles
Gamblers in the morning
Clinging to guitars
You're right about the moon
But you're wrong about the stars
And when you stop just to let them know
You've got it down
It's just another town along the road
