The Road

O’Keefe
Highways and dance halls
A good song takes you far
You write about the moon
You dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in Daddies’ cars
You sing about the nights
You laugh about the scars
Coffee in the morning
Cocaine afternoons
you talk about the weather
you grin about the room
Phone calls long distance
Tell you how you’ve been
You’ll forget about the losses
You’ll exaggerate the wins
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’ll get you down to nothin’
And they’ll say they knew you well
You tell’em you’ll remember
But they know it’s just a game
And along the road their faces
All begin to look the same
It isn’t for the money
And it’s only for a while
You stalk about the rooms
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
And when you stop to let’em know you got it down
It’s just another town along the road
