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
