Back in 1958 we drove an old V8 and
G C
when it gone a hundred thou we got out and pushed it a mile
C F
We didnt know who we were, we didnt know what we did
G C
We were just on the road
C F
Headin down from Canada on a gravel road a mile from Montana
G C
Then my Daddy read a sign and took us in the wrong direction
C F
I asked my Daddy where are we goin, he said well just follow
G C
Our nose, so I looked out the window and dreamed I was a cowboy
C F
We didnt know who we were, we didnt know what we did
G C
We were just on the road
C F
I met a girl in a truck cafe, fell in love almost right away
G C
Then the Mercury was ready to go and I had to leave her
F
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-Sh-doo
G C
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-Sh-doo-Sh-doo
C F
Go home said the man in the moon go home
G C
Go home said the man in the moon go home
C F
Because its gettinsorta late and Ill soon turn out my light
G
Go home said the man in the moon
C
Go home
C F
We didnt know who we were, we didnt know what we did
G C
We were just on the road
C F
We didnt know who we were, we didnt know what we did
G
We were just a ridin on
G C
We were just a ridin on the road
