Hornsby Bruce Down The Road Tonight Lyrics

Down The Road Tonight Lyrics

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

 

 Every day, every night

 Something's 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 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
