JACKSON BROWNE | The Road
Intro
[A7/4] [Am7] [Em6] [C] [G] [G/Eb]
G G/Eb
Highways and dancehalls
G G/Eb
A good song takes you far
G Em
You write about the moon
Am
And you dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in daddy's car
You sing about the night
And you laugh about the scars
Coffee in the morning
Cocaine afternoons
You talk about the weather
And you clean about the rooms
Phone calls long distance
To tell you how you've been
You forget about the losses
You exagerate the wins
Em C
But when you stop
Em6 C
To let 'em know you've got it down
C D G
It's just another town along the road
Ladies come to see you
If your name still rings the bell
They give you damn near nothing
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
But when you stop
To let 'em 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
You're stucked about the rooms
And you roll away the miles
Gamblers in the neon
Clinging to guitars
You write about the moon
But you're on about the stars
Cause when you stop
To let 'em know you've got it down
It's just another town along the road
