Back in 1958, we drove an old V 8
And when it gone a hundred 'thou, we got out and 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 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 going He said we'll just follow 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
Met a girl in a truck cafe, fell in love almost right away
then the Mercury was ready to go, and I had to leave her
Shooby dooby doo sha doo, shooby dooby doo sha doo, shoo doo
Go home, said the man in the moon, go home
Go home, said the man in the moon, go home
Because it's getting sort of late, and I'll soon turn out my light
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 on the road
