歌手名 The Who

When you look through the lights to the stage

You see the man of your dreams

You think his life's full of parties and love

But it's not what it seems

If you could see in his room right now

You'd see how much love is showed

There's never really any romance on the road

His forehead seems cut in two

By the crease in his brown

He chews his nails and he fidgets

Just tryin' to settle on down

The TV channels keep flippin'

His adrenaline slowed

There's never really any romance on the road oh no

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

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 listenin' 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

He's held some beautiful girls in his arms

But now he clutches his bunk

For all the good that they're doing him now

He might as well be a monk

For his memories ain't worth a thing

Till he's old and he's gone

And his past never quite catches up

The show's movin' on

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

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 the 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
