Michael Johnson - On The Road lyrics

Back in 1958, we drove an old V-8
And when it turned a hundred thou
We pushed it a mile
We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road
Heading south from Canada on a graveled
Road a mile from Montana
Then my daddy read the sign that
Took us in the wrong direction

I asked my daddy where are we going
He just said we're following 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
I fell in love almost right away
But the Mercury was ready to go
And I had to leave her
We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road

And when I'd seen all the sights
There was the moon so round
Go home, said the man in the moon, go home
Go home, said the man in the moon, go home
Because it's getting sorta late
And I'll soon put out my light
So 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
