Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in 1958 We drove an old V-8 And when it turned a hundred thou We pushed it a mile [Chorus] We didn't know who we were We didn't know what we did We were just on the road [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] We didn't know who we were We didn't know what we did We were just on the road [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] We didn't know who we were We didn't know what we did We were just on the road [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
