Eb F Bb There's never romance on the road Eb/C Eb/G Ab Only frustration and overload Eb Cm He could fall in love, but he'd never know Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7/G For she's only riding and he's only hiding F Cm He's sure to ask, 'cause she won't say no F F Bb 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 [bridge] G He's held some beautiful girls in his arms, D Dsus2 D But now he clutches his bunk A Ab For all the good that they're doing him now he might as well be a monk Eb Eb/G Eb/C For his memories ain't worth a thing 'til he's old and he's gone G Gsus4 G A Asus4 A And his past never quite catches up, the show's moving on [repeat verse] 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 [repeat chorus] 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 ============= litgo@aol.com
