Lee Roy Parnell - On the road lyrics

There's a sad, young wife Never had a life Her mother said she'd married young And her husband's a fool Never listened to All the things she's never done So she packs up that ol' Ford Fairlane She's had about all she can bear A suitcase, a 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 Puts in his favorite ca**ette He ain't goin' to no college The 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 k** 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 down 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
