[Verse 1: Bill Morrissey]
Highways and dance halls
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 night
And you laugh about the scars

[Verse 2: Bill Morrissey]
Coffee in the morning
Cocaine afternoon
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

[Chorus: Bill Morrissey, Bill Morrissey & Greg Brown]
'Cause when you stop to let 'em know you’ve got it down
It's just another town along the road

[Verse 3: Bill Morrissey]
Ladies come to see you
If your name still rings a bell
And give you damn near nothing
And they'll say they knew you well
So you tell them you remember
But they know it's just a game
And along the way the faces
All begin to look the same
[Chorus: Bill Morrissey, Bill Morrissey & Greg Brown]
Now when you stop to let 'em know you've got it down
It's just another town along the road

[Verse 4: Bill Morrissey]
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

[Chorus: Bill Morrissey, Bill Morrissey & Greg Brown]
’Cause when you stop to let 'em know you've got it down
It's just another town along the road
