The Road Lyrics - Running On Empty - Jackson Browne

Highways and dancehalls 

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 nights 

And you laugh about the scars 

Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons 

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 

And when you stop to let 'em know 

You've 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 give you damn near nothin' 

And they'll say they knew you well 

So you tell 'em you remember 

But they know it's just a game 

And along the way their faces 

All begin to look the same 

And when you stop to let 'em know 

You got it down 

It's just another town along the road 

Photos 

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 

'Cause when you stop to let 'em know 

You got it down 

It's just another town along the road
