On The Road

There's a sad, young wife
 Never had a life
 Her mother said she'd married young
 And her husband's a fool
 Never listened to
 All the things she's never done
 So she packs up that ol' Ford Fairlane
 She's had about all she can bear
 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 goin' 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
 He ain't goin' 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 goin' nobody knows
 If it's anywhere, you'll find it
 On the road
 Eddie and Jill 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 down that old Airstream
 They don't know where they're bound
 Sixty five years and still searching
 For somethin' 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 goin' nobody knows
 If it's anywhere, you'll find it
 On the road
 On the road
 On the road
