Black road, Georgia trees

Midnight moon just stay with me

Like a lighthouse in the sky

Let these eighteen wheels fly

I woke up this morning in a Motel Five

Brokenhearted, I'm gonna drive through the night

Down the open road



I asked her where she stood

She said, Johnny this ain't no good

You made the highway your home

And I'm just tired of livin' alone

So you go your way and I'll go mine

And maybe one day you'll find what you're looking for

Down the open road

Down the open road



I've been down this road many a time

And Lord I've tried to find

Some peace of heart, some peace of mind

But this road just winds and winds



There's a crazy lady with high-heeled shoes

She could take away my homesick blues

And lately I feel a little crazy too

Yes I do Ma'am, oh yes I do

Got a double sleeper, I'm hell on wheels

Come on sweet thing, show me how love feels

Down the open road

Down the open road

Ooh, somewhere down the open road



She don't break down, she don't run cold

She's got heart and soul like a pot of gold

(Yeah yeah)

Sees the white lines, when I'm driving blind

A hundred more miles and she's right on time

Right on time

She's right on time

Right on time

(Down the open road)

Right on time
