(capo up 2 frets)
         D    Em
Back in 1958 we drove an old V-8
A7
And when it gone a hundred 'thou
                D
We got out out pushed it a mile

CHORUS
            D
We didn't know who we were
            Em             A7
We didn't know what we did
                     D
We were just on the road

         D
Headin' down from Canada
       Em
On a gravel road a mile from Montana
         A7
Then my Daddy read a sign
                            D
and took us in the wrong direction

I asked my Daddy where are we goin'
         Em
He said we'll just follow our nose
      A7
So I looked out the window
                     D
And dreamed I was a cowboy

CHORUS
            D
We didn't know who we were
            G   G/F#       Em Em7 A7
We didn't know what we did
                        D
We were just on the road

       D
Met a girl in a truck café
         Em
Fell in love almost right away
          A7
Then the Mercury was ready to go
                D
And I had to leave her

    D                                Em
Go home said the man in the moon go home
    A7                               D
Go home said the man in the moon go home

Because it's gettin' sort of late
           G   G/F#            Em Em7
And I'll soon turn out my light
    A7                               D
Go home said the man in the moon go home

CHORUS
            D
We didn't know who we were
            G   G/F#      Em Em7
We didn't know what we did
A7                   D
We were just on the road
            D
We didn't know who we were
            G  G/F#       Em Em7
We didn't know what we did
A7                   D
We were just on the road
A11
We were just a riding on...
                              D
We were just a riding on the road.
