[A] [Am]
[Db] [C]
[G]
[Eb]
[G] Highways and dance halls, a good song takes you far
You [Em] write about the moon, [C] you dream [Am] about the stars
[G] Blues and horn motel rooms, girls in daddy's cars
You [Em] sing about the nights, [A] laugh about [Am] the scars
[G] Coffee in the morning, cocaine all night long
[D] On the graveyard shift, [C] buried in [Am] the sand
[G] Won't cause long distance, tell you [D] how you've been
You'll forget about [Em] the losses, [C] you'll [Am] exaggerate the wins
[Em]
[C] And when you stop [Db] to let them know [C] you got it down
It's just another [Am] town, [G] a lonely night
[Eb] [G]
[D] Ladies come to see you, if your name still rings a bell
They'll get you [Em] down to nothing [C] and they'll say they [Am] knew you well
[G] So you tell them [D] you remember, [G] but then, no, it's [Eb] just a game
[G] And along the [Em] road their faces [C] all begin to look [Am] the same
[Em]
[C] And when you stop to [B] let them know [C] you got it down
It's just another [Am] town, a [G] lonely road
It isn't [D] for the money, it's only for a while
[G] You [Em] start talking about the [C] rooms, you [Cm] roll away [Am] the miles
[G] Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars
[D] You're [Em] right about the money, [C] but you're wrong [Am] about the stars
[Em] And when [Am] you stop to let
[Db] them know you [C] got it down
It's just another [Am] town, [A] [G] just [Am] another town
[G] Just [A] another [G] town along [Eb] the road
[G] [Eb] [G] [Eb]
