THERE'S A SAD
YOUNG WIFE
NEVER HAD A LIFE
HER MOTHER SAID
SHE MARRIED YOUNG
AND HER HUSBAND'S
A FOOL
NEVER LISTENED TO
ALL THE THINGS
SHE'S NEVER DONE
SO SHE PACKS UP
THAT OLD FORD FAIRLANE
SHE'S HAD ABOUT ALL
SHE CAN BEAR
A SUITCASE OF HOPE
AND A HARD RAIN
SHE'S GONNA FIND IT ALL
SOMEWHERE
ON THE ROAD
WHERE THE NIGHT
IS BLACK
ON THE ROAD
WHERE YOU DON'T
LOOK BACK
THERE'S A WHITE LINE
IN THE DISTANCE
WHERE IT'S GOIN'
NOBODY KNOWS
IF IT'S ANYWHERE
YOU'LL FIND IT
ON THE ROAD
THERE'S A TEENAGE KID
NO MATTER WHAT HE DID
NOBODY EVER
UNDERSTANDS
AND HE DON'T
MEASURE UP
AND HE'S HAD ENOUGH
CAN'T BE HIS DADDY'S
LITTLE MAN
SO HE PULLS OUT
THAT HOT ROD CHEVY
AND PUTS IN
HIS FAVORITE CASSETTE
HE AIN'T GOIN'
TO NO COLLEGE
HIS WORLD IS WAITIN'
UP AHEAD
ON THE ROAD
WHERE THE NIGHT
IS BLACK
ON THE ROAD
WHERE YOU DON'T
LOOK BACK
THERE'S A WHITE LINE
IN THE DISTANCE
WHERE IT'S GOIN'
NOBODY KNOWS
IF IT'S ANYWHERE
YOU'LL FIND IT
ON THE ROAD
EDDIE AND JILL
GOT TIME TO KILL
THE KIDS
THEY NEVER
COME AROUND
AND A GOLD-PLATED
WATCH
WAS ALL HE GOT
WHEN THE COMPANY
SHUT HIS LIFE DOWN
SO HE TAKES OUT
THAT OLD AIRSTREAM
THEY DON'T KNOW
WHERE THEY'RE BOUND
SIXTY-FIVE YEARS
AND STILL SEARCHING
FOR SOMETHIN'
THAT THEY NEVER FOUND
ON THE ROAD
WHERE THE NIGHT
IS BLACK
ON THE ROAD
WHERE YOU DON'T
LOOK BACK
THERE'S A WHITE LINE
IN THE DISTANCE
WHERE IT'S GOIN'
NOBODY KNOWS
IF IT'S ANYWHERE
YOU'LL FIND IT
ON THE ROAD
ON THE ROAD
ON THE ROAD
