Down the Road Tonight

There's a place

A local roadside shack

A poor man's Paris with parking 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"

Hey, yeah

Every day, every night

Something's going on, something's going on

Down the road over yonder

Yeah, any place, any time when I'm fading

My love lies waiting

Down the road tonight

Mmm

When I was younger

Oh, 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"

Yeah, yeah

Every day, every night

Something's going on, something's going on

Down the road over yonder

Yeah, any place, any time when I'm fading

My love lies waiting

Down the road tonight

Hey, yeah

Ooh-whoa-oh-oh

Hey, yeah

There were movies in the parlor

They were dealing one-eyed jacks

And when I said I loved her

She said, "Just keep a-coming back"

Every day, every night

Something's going on, something's going on

Down the road over yonder

Yeah, any place, any time when I'm fading

Oh, my love lies waiting

Down the road tonight

Yeah, my love lies waiting

Down the road, down the road tonight

Hey, yeah

Every day, every night

Down the road tonight

Any place, any time, it's alright
