[Ab]
Good.
There's a sad [Db] young wife, [Ab] never had a [Db] life.
[Ab] Her mother [Db] said she'd marry [Ab] young.
[Db]
And [Ab] her [Db] husband's a fool, [Ab] never listened [Db] to
[Ab] all the [Db] things she's never [Ab] done.
Oh, [Eb] she packs up [Db] that old [Ab] Ford Fairlane.
[Eb] She's had [Db] about all she [Ab] can bear,
[Eb] a suitcase [Db] of hope [Ab] and a hard rain.
[Db] She's gonna find it all [Eb] somewhere
[Ab] on the road [Db] where the night [Eb] is black.
On [Ab] the road [Db] where you don't [Eb] look back.
[Fm] There's a white line in [Db] the distance.
Where [Ab] it's going, [Eb] nobody [Db] knows.
If [Ab] it's [Eb] anywhere, [Db] you'll find it on [Ab] the road.
[Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
There's a teenage kid, [Db] no matter [Ab] what he [Db] did,
[Ab] nobody [Db] ever [Ab] understands.
And he don't measure up, and he's had enough.
Can't be his daddy's [Db] little [Ab] man.
So [Eb] he pulls out [Db] that hot [Ab] rod, said,
and [Eb] puts in [Db] his favorite [Ab] cassette.
Well, [Eb] he [Db] ain't going to [Ab] no calling.
[Db] The world is waiting up [Eb] ahead.
On [Ab] the road [Db] where the night [Eb] is black.
On [Ab] the road
[Db] where you don't [Eb] look back.
[Fm] There's a white line in [Db] the distance.
[Ab] Where it's going, [Eb]
nobody [Db] knows.
If [Ab] it's [Eb] anywhere, [Db] you'll find it on [Ab] the road.
[Db] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
Eddie and Jerry got time to kill.
The kids ain't ever come around.
And the gold-plated watch was all he got when the company
shut his life down.
So [Eb] he takes out [Db] that [Ab] old-ass knife.
[Eb] They [Db] don't know where [Ab] they found.
[Eb] 65 [Db] years of [Ab] searching for [Db] something that they never [Eb] found.
On the [Ab] road [Db] where the night [Eb] is black.
On [Ab] the [Db] road where you don't [Eb] look back.
[Fm] There's a white line in [Db] the distance.
Where [Ab] it's going, [Eb] nobody [Db] knows.
If [Ab] it's [Eb] anywhere, [Db] you'll find it on [Ab] the road.
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] On the
