On the Road - John Denver

Back in 1958 we drove an old V8

And when it’d gone a hundred thou', we got out and pushed it a mile

We didn’t know who we were

We didn’t know what we did

We were just on the road

Headin' down from Canada on a gravel road a mile from Montana

Then my Daddy read a sign and took us in the wrong direction

I asked my Daddy where are we goin'

He said we’ll just follow our nose

So I looked out the window and dreamed I was a cowboy

We didn’t know who we were

We didn’t know what we did

We were just on the road

I met a girl in a truck cafe

Fell in love almost right away

Then the Mercury was ready to go

And I had to leave her

Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-sh-doo

Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-sh-doo-sh-doo

«Go home,» said the man in the moon, «go home»

«Go home,» said the man in the moon, «go home»

«Because it’s gettin' sorta late

And I’ll soon turn out my light

Go home,» said the man in the moon, «go home»

We didn’t know who we were

We didn’t know what we did

We were just on the road

We didn’t know who we were

We didn’t know what we did

We were just a ridin' on

We were just a ridin' on the road
