[VERSE ]
G Gaug G Gaug
Highways and dance halls A good song takes you far
G G/F# Em C C/B Am
You write about the moon And you dream about the stars
G Gaug G Gaug
Blues in old motel rooms Girls in daddy's car
G G/F# Em C C/B Am
You sing about the nights And you laugh about the scars
[VERSE]
G Gaug G Gaug
Coffee in the morning cocaine afternoons
G G/F# Em C C/B Am
You talk about the weather And you grin about the rooms
G Gaug G Gaug
Phone calls long distance To tell how you've been
G G/F# Em C C/B Am
Forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins
[CHORUS]
Em Am7 A7 C
And when you stop to let 'em know You've got it down
N.C C C/B Am7 D7 G
it's just another town along the road
[INTRUMENTAL CHORUS]
[VERSE]
G Gaug G Gaug
The ladies come to see you If your name still rings a bell
G G/F# Em C C/B Am
They give you damn near nothin' And they'll say they knew you well
G Gaug G Gaug
So you tell 'em you remember But they know it's just a game
G G/F# Em C C/B Am
And along the way their faces All begin to look the same
[CHORUS]
Em Am7 A7 C
And when you stop to let 'em know You've got it down
N.C. C C/B Am7 D7 G
it's just another town along the road
[VERSE]
G Gaug G Gaug
Well it isn't for the money And it's only for a while
G G/F# Em C C/B Am
You stalk about the rooms And you roll away the miles
G Gaug G Gaug
Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars
G G/F# Em C C/B Am
You're right about the moon But you're wrong about the stars
[CHORUS]
Em Am7 A7 C
And when you stop to let 'em know You've got it down
N.C. C C/B Am7 D7 G
it's just another town along the road
