[Andrew Lippa, Kirsten Scott, Ryan Andes, Norbert Leo Butz - Out There on the Road lyrics]
You can pine your life away
Wishin’ things were better
Waitin’ here for judgment day
While knittin’ you a sweater
But, I believe that kind of life
Won’t set your spirit free so my friend
One small suggestion where you oughtta be’
You can take a journey
Through this country’s flesh and blood
On a ride past countryside
And Mississippi mud
Hit the street with two big feet
To bear your heavy load
And live life out there on the road
Anyone you wanna be and anything you say
Come tomorrow you’ll be free
Of who you are today action and adventure
When we change our fixed abode
Go live life out there on the road
Wouldn’t you rather be like royalty
Respected like a king
Where it’s all civilized you’ll be surprised
The song you’ll hear ‘em sing
People’ll greet you there some wanna share
Enthusiastic news
And all you need is guaranteed
With one big pair of shoes
One big pair of shoes!
What’s your name, giant’
Karl
Listen, Karl the world is huge!
Don’t you wanna step outside
Look around see what’s waiting there!
We were born to wake each morn
Some place we’ve never been
Checkin’ out the locals
As they watch us checkin’ in
Every new encounter in another new zip code
We’ll find it out there
That’s him, right there!
Wait! He’s not a monster he’s a thinker
He’s a whiz this boy isn’t half as bad
As you all think he is i’ve been so inspired
I’ve decided we’re a pair
We’re heading out there on the road
You’re leaving’ Now’!
Don’t tell me that you’re
Leaving us for good
Jenny, yes I’m leaving
But ‘for good’ I never could
I’ll be back some day
And I’ll be waiting while you’re gone
'Til then be happy on the road
C’mon Karl! Let’s show ‘em
Our traveling step!
Every road trip needs a traveling step
Edward Bloom
Take with you this Key to the City
And know our doors will always be open to you
Suddenly, I’m the king who holds the key
But everybody secretly is dying to be
More and more like who’
Like you’
Like you!
I can see America dependable and true
Open sky and passerby congratulating you
Find the open highway and you’ve hit
The mother lode
Go crazy
Out there on the
Happy! Out there on the
Finally out there
Promise you’ll return to us!
On the road! On the road!
Wishin’ things were better
Waitin’ here for judgment day
While knittin’ you a sweater
But, I believe that kind of life
Won’t set your spirit free so my friend
One small suggestion where you oughtta be’
You can take a journey
Through this country’s flesh and blood
On a ride past countryside

Of who you are today action and adventure
