[Verse 1]
          G         C          G           CThere's a sad young wife never had a life
    G               C       G       CHer mother says she married young
        G           C          G           CAnd her husband's a fool never listened to
G                          C          GAll the things she's never done
       D7            C        GSo she packs up that old Ford Fairlane

      D7    C            GA suitcase, a hope, and a hard rain,
      C                 D7She's gonna find it all some where

[Chorus]
       G       COn the road
                   D7Where the night is black
       G       COn the road
                     D7Where you don't look back
          Em                CThere's a white line in the distance

          G       C             G       CThere's a teenage kid no matter what he did
            GNobody ever understands
       G              C          G         CAnd he don't measure up and he's had enough

      G                     CCan't be his daddy's little man
      D7             C       GSo he pulls out that hot rod Chevy
D7          C        GPuts in his favorite cassette
     D7       C           GWell he ain't goin' to no college
             C          D7The world is waitin' up ahead

[Chorus]

                     D7Where you don't look back
          Em                CThere's a white line in the distance
           G     D7     CWhere it's going nobody knows
        G   D7           CIf it's any where you'll find it
       GOn the road

[Verse 3]

G         C        G       CEddie and Jill got time to kill
G             C     G    CThe kids they never come around
      G           C         G      CAnd a gold-plated watch was all he got
         G                     CWhen the company shut his life down
      D7        C        GSo he takes out that old Airstream
      D7        C             GThey don't know where they're bound
     D7    C               GSixty-five years and still searchin'
    C                         D7For something that they never found

[Chorus]
       G       COn the road
                   D7Where the night is black
       G       COn the road
                     D7Where you don't look back
          Em                CThere's a white line in the distance
           G     D7     CWhere it's going nobody knows
        G   D7           CIf it's any where you'll find it
       GOn the road
       GOn the road
       GOn the road
