|
When you look through the lights to the stage |
|
You see the man of your dreams |
|
You think his life's full of parties and love |
|
But it's not what it seems |
|
If you could see in his room right now |
|
You'd see how much love is showed |
|
There's never really any romance on the road |
|
His forehead seems cut in two |
|
By the crease in his brow |
|
He chews his nails and he fidgets |
|
Just trying to settle on down |
|
The TV channels keep flicking |
|
His adrenaline slowed |
|
There's never really any romance on the road |
|
Oh no |
|
There's never romance on the road |
|
Only frustration and overload |
|
He could fall in love, but he'd never know |
|
For she's only riding |
|
And he's only hiding |
|
He's sure to ask |
|
She won't say no |
|
But there's never really any romance on the road |
|
He was up in the bar straight-backed, did you see him before? |
|
Did he sign you his name, come with me, listen in at his door? |
|
Hear himself so drunk calling home, can't remember the code |
|
You know, there's never really any romance on the road, oh no no no |
|
He's held some beautiful girls in his arms |
|
But now he clutches his bike |
|
Whatever good did they do in him now, he might as well be a mic |
|
For his memories aren't worth a thing |
|
Till he's old and he's gone |
|
And his past never quite catches up |
|
The show's moving on |
|
Did he say he kept a picture of a blonde-haired girl |
|
Who'd been kind |
|
When he was last home his own daughter |
|
Brought it into his mind |
|
Maybe closing bars and jets |
|
Paid some debts that he owed |
|
But there's never really any romance on the road |
|
There's never romance on the road |
|
Only frustration and overload |
|
He's never learned a thing from the dust that blowed |
|
On stage for an hour |
|
On a laser beam tower |
|
But you know he slept while a neon glowed |
|
There's never really any romance on the road |
|
There's never romance on the road |
|
Only frustration and overload |
|
He could fall in love |
|
But he'd never know |
|
For she's only riding |
|
And he's only hiding |
|
He's sure to ask |
|
But she won't say no |
|
There's never really any romance on the road |
