On the Road |
| Back in 1958 we drove an old V8 |
| And when it’d gone a hundred thou', we got out and pushed it a mile |
| We didn’t know who we were |
| We didn’t know what we did |
| We were just on the road |
| Headin' down from Canada on a gravel road a mile from Montana |
| Then my Daddy read a sign and took us in the wrong direction |
| I asked my Daddy where are we goin' |
| He said we’ll just follow our nose |
| So I looked out the window and dreamed I was a cowboy |
| We didn’t know who we were |
| We didn’t know what we did |
| We were just on the road |
| I met a girl in a truck cafe |
| Fell in love almost right away |
| Then the Mercury was ready to go |
| And I had to leave her |
| Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-sh-doo |
| Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-sh-doo-sh-doo |
| «Go home,» said the man in the moon, «go home» |
| «Go home,» said the man in the moon, «go home» |
| «Because it’s gettin' sorta late |
| And I’ll soon turn out my light |
| Go home,» said the man in the moon, «go home» |
| We didn’t know who we were |
| We didn’t know what we did |
| We were just on the road |
| We didn’t know who we were |
| We didn’t know what we did |
| We were just a ridin' on |
| We were just a ridin' on the road |
