Lyrics:

Back in 1958
We drove an old V-8
And when it turned a hundred thou
We pushed it a mile

We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road

Heading south from Canada
On a graveled road a mile from Montana
Then my daddy read the sign
That took us in the wrong direction
I asked my daddy 'Where are we going?'
He just said 'We're following 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

I met a girl in a truck cafe
I fell in love almost right away
But the Mercury was ready to go
And I had to leave her

We didn't know who we were
We didn't know what we did
We were just on the road

And when I'd seen all the sights, there was the moon so round
Go home, said the man in the moon, go home
Go home, said the man in the moon, go home
Because it's getting sorta late, and I'll soon put out my light
So 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 ridin' on
We were just-a ridin' on
We were just-a ridin' on the road
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 on the road
