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
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
