Back in 1958
We drove an old V-8
And when it gone a hundred ´thou
We got out out pushed it a mile

*refrain*
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

*refrain*

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

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

*refrain* x2

We were just riding on...
We were just riding on the road.
