Back in 1958 we drove an old V8 and

when it gone a hundred thou we got out and pushed it a mile

We didnt know who we were, we didnt 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 well just follow

 Our nose, so I looked out the window and dreamed I was a cowboy

We didnt know who we were, we didnt know what we did

We were just on the road

I met a girl in a truck cafe, fell in love almost right away

Then the Mercury was ready to go and I had to leave her

Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-Sh-doo

 Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-Sh-doo-Sh-doo

Go home said the man in the moon go home

Go home said the man in the moon go home

Because its gettinsorta late and Ill soon turn out my light

Go home said the man in the moon

Go home

We didnt know who we were, we didnt know what we did

We were just on the road

We didnt know who we were, we didnt know what we did

We were just a ridin on

We were just a ridin on the road
