On The Road Lyrics
Back in 1958
we drove an old V-8
And when it gone a hundred 'thou
We got out out pushed it a mile
We didn't know who we were
We didn't 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 we'll just follow our nose
So I looked out the window
And dreamed I was a cowboy
We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road
Met a girl in a truck caf�
Fell in love almost right away
Then the Mercury was ready to go
And I had to leave her
Shooby Dooby Doo Shoo Doo
Shooby Dooby Doo Shoo Doo
Shoo Doo
Go home said the man in the moon go home
Go home said the man in the moon go home
Because it's gettin' sort of late
And I'll soon turn out my light
Go home said the man in the moon go home
We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road
We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just a riding on
We were just a riding on the road.
we drove an old V-8
And when it gone a hundred 'thou
We got out out pushed it a mile
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road
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 we'll just follow our nose
So I looked out the window
And dreamed I was a cowboy
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road
Fell in love almost right away
Then the Mercury was ready to go
And I had to leave her
Shooby Dooby Doo Shoo Doo
Shoo Doo
Go home said the man in the moon go home
Because it's gettin' sort of late
And I'll soon turn out my light
Go home said the man in the moon go home
We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road
We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just a riding on
We were just a riding on the road.

I think this song was about John's childhood. His father was in the Air Force, and was constantly transferred around the U.S., so John spent a big chunk of his childhood on the road.
