Lyric Down The Road Tonight

B. R. Hornsby/John Hornsby

There s a place
A local roadside shack
A poor man s Paris with a parking lot in the back
There s a girl there
She knows how to unwind
She don t talk much but she knows just how to act
I said - Don t tell me she don t love me
The money s just a mere formality

Every day, Every night
Somethings going on, something s going on
Down the road over yonder
Any place, any time when I m fading
My love lies waiting
Down the road tonight

When I was younger
All the older boys
Would drive me way out past the county fair
They d laugh and point out
This roadside trailer
And say something wild s going on over there
They said - What they re doing
Don t mean nothing to you now
But someday it ll mean everything

There were movies in the parlor
They were dealing one-eyed jacks
And when I said I loved her
She said - Just keep coming back
