On the Road

There's a sad young wife never had a life.

Her mother says she married young.

And her husband's a fool never listened to

All the things she's never done.

So she packs up that old Ford Fairlane.

She's had about all she can bare.

A suitcase, a hope, and a hard rain.

She's gonna find it all somewhere

On the road

Where the night is black

On the road

Where you don't look back

There's a white line in the distance

Where it's going nobody knows

If it's anywhere you'll find it

On the road

There's a teenage kid no matter what he did

nobody ever understands.

And he don't measure up and he's had enough.

Can't be his daddy's little man.

So he pulls out that hot rod Chevy.

Puts in his favorite cassette.

Well he ain't going to no college.

The world is waitin' up ahead

On the road

Where the night is black

On the road

Where you don't look back

There's a white line in the distance

Where it's going nobody knows

If it's anywhere you'll find it

On the road

Eddie and June got time to kill.

The kids they never come around.

And a gold-plated watch

was all he got

when the company shut his life down.

So he takes out that old Airstream.

They don't know where they're bound.

Sixty-five years and still searchin'

for something that they never found.

On the road

Where the night is black

On the road

Where you don't look back

There's a white line in the distance

Where it's going nobody knows

If it's anywhere you'll find it

On the road

On the road
