GDid you know its cold in California?
DWhere the girls are bold, they never warn ya
EmIts hard to leave even Cwhen you're all alone
GHave you seen the stars in a Texas sky?
DReflected in the blue of a woman's eyes
EmMakes you forget you're so Cfar away from home
Well the Gworld keeps spinnin', Dtime rolls on
When you're Emlivin' on the road after C10 years gone
GSame old stories, Dsame cliches
Well the Emfaces are the only thing that Cchange
And EmI'm just watchin' it Dall

GHave you played your song underneath the moon?
DHad the words you wrote shouted back at you
EmIt strikes a chord, and Cechoes through your mind
GCan you find a dream in your memory
DWhere you started off who you used to be
EmAnd in between, did you Cleave yourself behind?
Well the Gworld keeps spinnin', Dtime rolls on
When you're Emlivin' on the road after C10 years gone
GSame old stories, Dsame cliches
Well the Emfaces are the only thing that Cchange
And EmI'm just watchin' it Dall

Everyday I'm just Clivin' on this stage
I don't Galways know which Drole I playG  
GHave you seen the stars shinin' in her Deyes?
Well the Gworld keeps spinnin', Dtime rolls on
When you're Emlivin' on the road after C10 years gone

Well the Emfaces are the only thing that Cchange
And EmI'm just watchin' it Dall
