On The Road (1993)
There's a sad young wife never had a life her mother says 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 bare
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 going 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 cassette
Well he ain't going to no college the world is waiting 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 going 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 something 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 going nobody knows
If it's anywhere you'll find it on the road
On the road
