On the Road Songtext

von John Denver

Back in 1958 we drove an old V-8
And when it gone a hundred 'thou
We got out out pushed it a mile

CHORUS
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

CHORUS
We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road

Met a girl in a truck café
Fell in love almost right away
Then the Mercury was ready to go
And I had to leave her

A11
Shooby Dooby Doo Shoo Doo
Shooby Dooby Doo Shoo Doo
Shoo 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' sort of late
And I'll soon turn out my light
Go home said the man in the moon go home

CHORUS
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 on the road
A11
We were just a riding on...
We were just a riding on the road.
