Late nights on the road
late nights traveling
from town to town

Restaurants and hotel rooms
white lines that don't lead home
and things you miss

Smoky bars and honky tonks
drinking your whisky straight
to keep you sane

And every now and then
a girl with big brown eyes
will take you home

But you will never meet again
one night of love is where it begins
a half forgotten kiss left on your lips
is where it will end, is where it will end

Late nights on the road
playing my guitar
for lonely crowds

Happy thoughts and memories
broken hearts and long lost dreams
are what I sing

Here today and gone tomorrow
traveling from town to town
its a way of life

And every now and then
a girl with big brown eyes
will take you home

But you will never meet again
one night of love is where it begins
a half forgotten kiss left on your lips
is where it will end, is where it will end
