Take the road to Tonganoxie
Just before Suncatcher Lake
Go past the cemetary
Oh child, please don't make me wait'Cause there's something wrong with what I've done
I haven't got much time
I can't stay here in Kansas
I've gotta cross the lineSo take me down to the Missouri
On the way to Arkansas
The devil's in a hurry
To see what my momma sawAnd now I'm on the run
I got no other place to go
Except down the Stranger RoadI walked straight out the back door
I covered up my tracks
My poppa thinks it's criminal
So I ain't comin' back'Cause there's something wrong with what I've done
I haven't got much time
And what I want and what I need
Is all I have in mindSo take me down to the Missouri
On the way to Arkansas
The devil's in a hurry
To see what my momma sawAnd now I'm on the run
I got no other place to go
Except down the Stranger RoadC'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'monThe blood runs hot
But the eyes are cold
Drivin' down on stranger roadOh, the blood runs hot
Oh, But the eyes are cold
Drivin' down to hell on Stranger RoadTake me down to the Missouri
On the way to Arkansas
The devil's in a hurry
To see what my momma sawAnd now I'm on the run
I got no other place to go
Except down the Stranger Road
Except down to Stranger RoadC'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
