Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bbaug][D][Bbaug]

[Verse 1]
[D]Highways [Bbaug]and dancehalls,
a [D]good song takes you far
[Bbaug]You write[D] about the[Em] moon
[Bm]and yo[Em]u dream about the stars
Blues in [D]old motel [Bbaug]rooms,
[D]girls in daddy's [Bbaug]car
[D]You sing about [Bm]the night,
[Em]and you laugh [D]about [Em]the scars
[D]You cough a year in the morning,
cocaine [Bbaug]afternoon
[D]You talk [Em]about the weather,
and you grin about the rooms
[D]The phone calls long distance,
[Bbaug]to tell you [D]how you've been[Bbaug]
You [D]forget about the [Em]losses,
you exaggerate the wins
[Bm]When you stop [Em]to let them know
[Bm]you've got it down[Em]
It's just another [D]town [Em]along [A]the
[D]road[Bbaug][D][Bbaug]
[D]Ladies come to see you
if your name still rings a [Bbaug]bell
[D]Give you damn near [Bm]nothing
and [G]they'll say they [D]knew [Em]you well
So you tell [D]them you remem[Bbaug]ber
but they [D]know it's just a game
[Bbaug]An d along [D]the way
[Bm]the faces all be[Em]gin to look the same
[Bm]And when you s[Em]top to let them know
[Bm]you've got it down[Em]
It's [G]just another [D]town along
the [Bbaug]road[D]
[Bbaug]But it isn't [D]for the money[Bbaug],
it's [D]only for [Bbaug]a while
You [D]stalk about the room[Bm]s
and you [Em]roll [D]away [Em]the miles
[D]Gamblers in the neon,
clanging two guitars
[Bbaug]You write[D] about the m[Bm]oon, but
But you're [Em]wrong about the stars
[Bm]Cause when you stop [Em]to let them know
[Bm]you'[Em]ve got it down
It's [G]just another [D]town [Em]along the
[D]road[Bbaug][D][Bbaug][D]
you
