Black road, Georgia trees Midnight moon just stay with me Like a lighthouse in the sky And let these eighteen wheels fly I woke up this morning In a Motel 5 Brokenhearted, I'm gonna drive through the night Down the open road I asked her where we stood She said Johnny, this ain't no good You made the highway your home And I'm just tired of livin' alone So you go your way And I'll go mine And maybe one day you'll find what you're looking for Down the open road Down the open road I've been down this road many a time And Lord I've tried to find Some peace of heart, some peace of mind
But this road just winds and winds... There's a crazy lady with high-heeled shoes She could take away my homesick blues And lately I feel a little crazy too Yes I do, Ma'am, yes I do Got a dobule sleeper I'm hell on wheels Come on sweet thing, show me how love feels Down the open road Down the open road Somewhere down the open road She don't break down, she don't run cold She's got heart and soul like a pot of gold Sees the white lines, when I'm driving blind A hundred more miles and she's right on time Right on time
