There's a [Ab]sad young [Db]wife never [Ab]had a life [Db]

Her [Ab]mother says she [Db]married young [Ab] [Db]

And her [Ab]husband's a [Db]fool never [Ab]listened to [Db]

[Ab]All the things she's [Db]never done [Ab]

So she [Eb7]packs up that [Db]old Ford [Ab]Fairlane

She's [Eb7]had about [Db]all she can [Ab]bare

A [Eb7]suitcase, a[Db] hope, and a [Ab]hard rain,

She's [Db]gonna find it all some[Eb7]where

Chorus:

On the [Ab]road [Db]

Where the night is [Eb7]black

On the [Ab]road [Db]

Where you don't look [Eb7]back

There's a [Fm]white line in the [Db]distance

Where it's [Ab]going [Eb7]nobody [Db]knows

If it's [Ab]any[Eb7]where you'll [Db]find it

On the [Ab]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 goin' to no college

The world is waitin' up ahead

Chorus

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 searchin'

For something that they never found

Chorus

On the road
