A good song takes you far
You write about the moon
You dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in Daddies’ cars
You sing about the nights
You laugh about the scars
Coffee in the morning
Cocaine afternoons
You talk about the weather
You grin about the room
Phone calls long distance
Tell you how you’ve been
You’ll forget about the losses
You’ll exaggerate the wins
And when you stop to let’em know you got it down
It’s just another town along the road
-Danny O'Keefe / O'KEEFE (1972)
-Jackson Browne / Running on empty (1977)
