Playing dominos on the big coach, sometimes winning or losing

Later on in the hotel room, playing cards until the dawn
Bm E Bm E
Others just conversating, I suppose they were having fun

Back on the big coach in the morning, head full of pain

Sleepy-eyed, still yawning, yes, we're back on the road again
