Highways and
A good song you far
You about the moon
And you about the stars

Blues in old rooms
in daddy's car
You sing about the
And you about the scars

in the morning
afternoons
You talk about the
And you about the rooms

Phone long distance
To you how you've been
You forget about the
you exaggerate the

[refrain:] And when you stop
to let 'em know you got it down
It's just another town along the road

The come to see you
If your name rings a bell
They you damn near nothin'
And they'll say they you well

So you tell 'em you
But they know it's just a
And along the way their
All to look the same

[refrain:] And when you stop

Well it isn't for the
And it's only for
You about the rooms
And you roll away the

in the neon,
to guitars
You about the moon
But you about the stars

[refrain:] And when you stop...

Highways and dancehalls
A good song takes you far
You write about the moon
And you dream about the stars

Blues in old motel rooms
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
To tell you how you've been
You forget about the losses
you exaggerate the wins

[refrain:] And when you stop
to let 'em know you got it down
It's just another town along the road

The ladies come to see you
If your name still rings a bell
They give you damn near nothin'
And they'll say they knew you well

So you tell 'em you remember
But they know it's just a game
And along the way their faces
All begin to look the same

[refrain:] And when you stop...

Well it isn't for the money
And it's only for a while
You stalk about the rooms
And you roll away the miles

Gamblers in the neon,
clinging to guitars
You're right about the moon
But you're wrong about the stars

[refrain:] And when you stop...
