     Guit Solo:    Ab Db Ab Db Ab Db Ab Db
 
 There's a [Ab]sad young [Db]wife never [Ab]had a life [Db]
 Her [Ab]mother says she [Db]married young [Ab] [Db]
 And her [Ab]husband's a [Db]fool never [Ab]listened to  [Db] 
 [Ab]All the things she's [Db]never done  [Ab]
 So she [Eb7]packs up that [Db]old Ford [Ab]Fairlane
 She's [Eb7]had about [Db]all she can [Ab]bare
 A [Eb7]suitcase, a[Db] hope, and a [Ab]hard rain,
 She's [Db]gonna find it all some[Eb7]where 
 
 Chorus:
 
 On the [Ab]road [Db]
 Where the night is [Eb7]black
 On the [Ab]road [Db]
 Where you don't look [Eb7]back
 There's a [Fm]white line in the [Db]distance
 Where it's [Ab]going [Eb7]nobody [Db]knows
 If it's [Ab]any[Eb7]where you'll [Db]find it 
 On the [Ab]road
 
 There's a teenage kid no matter what he did
 Nobody ever understands
 And he don't measure up and he's had enough
 Can't be his daddy's little man
 So he pulls out that hot rod Chevy
 Puts in his favorite cassette
 Well he ain't goin' to no college
 The world is waitin' up ahead
 
 Chorus
 
 Eddie and Jill got time to kill
 The kids they never come around
 And a gold-plated watch was all he got
 When the company shut his life down
 So he takes out that old Airstream
 They don't know where they're bound
 Sixty-five years and still searchin'
 For something that they never found
 
 Chorus
 
 On the road
