You sing about the nights and you laugh about the scars
It's just another town along the road
And when you stop to let 'em know, you've got it down
You talk about the weather and you grin about the rooms
You stalk about the rooms and you roll away the miles
'Cause when you stop to let 'em know, you got it down
It's just another town along the road
Phone calls long distance to tell how you've been
You're right about the moon but you're wrong about the stars
So you tell 'em you remember but they know it's just a game
The ladies come to see you if your name still rings a bell
Well it isn't for the money and it's only for a while
Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons
They give you damn near nothin' and they'll say they knew you well
And along the way their faces, all begin to look the same
Blues in old motel rooms, girls in daddy's car
And when you stop to let 'em know, you got it down
Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars
You forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins
