Version 2{The Road} {Jackson Browne} [Verse 1] [G]Highways and Dancehalls, a [Am7] song takes you far [G]You write about the m[Em]oon and you d[C]ream about the st[Am]ars... [G]Blues in old motel rooms, g[Am7] irls in daddy's cars [G]You sing about the n[Em]ight and you l[C]augh about the sc[Am]ars... [G]Coffee in the morning, C[Am7] ocaine afternoons [G]You talk about the w[Em]eather and you gr[C]in about the r[Am]ooms... [G]Phone calls long distance to t[Am7] ell you how you've been [G]You forget about the l[Em]osses, you ex[C]aggerate the w[Am]ins... [Chorus] [Em]And when you st[Am7]op to let them kn[Cm]ow you've got it d[C]own... It's j[C]ust another t[Am7]own al[D7]ong the r[G]oad. [Verse 2] [G]Ladies come to see you, if your n[Am7] ame still rings a bell [G]They give you damn' near n[Em]othin' and they'll s[C]ay they knew you w[Am]ell... So you t[G]ell'em you'll remember, but they kn[Am7] ow it's just a game And al[G]ong the way their f[Em]aces all beg[C]in to look the s[Am]ame... [Chorus] [Em]And when you st[Am7]op to let them kn[Cm]ow you've got it d[C]own... It's j[C]ust another t[Am7]own al[D7]ong the r[G]oad. [Bridge] Well it [G]isn't for the money and it's [Am7] only for a while, [G]You stalk about the r[Em]ooms and you r[C]oll aw[ay the m[Am]iles... [G]Gamblers in the neon, cl[Am7] ingin' to guitars, [G]You write about the m[Em]oon and you're wr[C]ong about the st[Am]ars... [Chorus] [Em]And when you st[Am7]op to let them kn[Cm]ow you've got it d[C]own... It's j[C]ust another t[Am7]own al[D7]ong the r[G]oad.
