On The Road lyrics by Lee Roy Parnell
ON THE ROADVERSE 1
THERE'S A SAD YOUNG WIFE NEVER HAD A LIFE
HER MOTHER SAYS SHE MARRIED YOUNG
AND HER HUSBAND'S A FOOL NEVER LISTENED TO
ALL THE THINGS SHE'S NEVER DONE
SO SHE PACKS UP THAT OLD FORD FAIRLANE
SHE'S HAD ABOUT ALL SHE CAN BARE
A SUITCASE A HOPE AND A HARD RAIN
SHE'S GONNA FIND IT ALL SOMEWHERE
CHORUS
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 GOING NOBODY KNOWS
IF IT'S ANYWHERE YOU'LL FIND IT
ON THE ROAD
VERSE 2
THERE'S A TEENAGE KID NO MATTER WHET 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 HOD ROD CHEVY
PUTS IN HIS FAVOURITE CASSETTE
WELL HE AIN'T GOIN' TO NO COLLEGE
THE WORLD IS WAITIN' UP AHEAD
CHORUS
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 OUT THAT OLD AIRSTREAM
THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE BOUND
SIXTY FIVE YEARS AND STILL SEARCHIN'
FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY NEVER FOUND
CHORUS
ON THE ROAD
