Owed to the Road

She was from Tennessee
Me from Telluride
Asking where a stranger goes
When goin' for a ride

I opened the door, she hopped right in
I knew she'd tag along
Not knowing what I'd get into
Not dreaming for how long

Well, it's my ode to the road
Keep moving and we'll never get old
Then she asked me to stick around
I said no, I got so far to go
Uh-huh

Driving fast and driving tired
Radio by our side
Woe'd the days we laughed and drank
And Lord, the nights we cried

My ode to the road
Keep moving and we'll never get old
She asked me to stay awhile
I said no, I got so far to go

Memories play their tricks on us
I know that's what she'd say
But I said keep moving little girl
Keep grooving little girl
Or I'm never gonna take you away

Passed another gas station
I'm alone and full of woe
Wondering where I'm headed
With every place left to go

It's my ode to the road
Keep moving and I'll never get old
She asked me to settle down
I said no, I got so far to go

My ode to the road
Keep moving and I'll never get old
You ask me to settle down
I say no, I got so far to go
