On the Road

This song was first released on the Back Home Again album. It is the only album it has been released on.

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
