Take a bridge across a river wide   Everybody's goin on the road (wide road)   Glad it's on the other side of the highway   Weighed less'cause I eased my burden   Pick a day for certain and you'll lighten up your lad   You can take a lady or a dog if you wanna   Everybody goin'on the road      Sea captain goin' on the road   Takes a crew to sail the ship   A sea captain on a sailin' ship   Well do you wanna go with me or he?   We'll be the ones who sang in the rigging   Get your ticket 'fore it shoves off from the shore   Take a trip on ship this time   You'll never go to sea no more      Repeat chorus      Now my lady friend's goin' on the road-   Takes her dog and my truck and rolls across the land   She's goin' to Santa Fe-leavin' me a lonely man   I take pleasure to see my friends happy   I'll be the pappy if she'll be the ma   I had the pick of the pick this time   Sweetest lady that I saw      Repeat chorus      Well there's a city fella goin' on the road   He'd like to catch a ride on a semi-truck   A city fella goin' on the riad    Just might run into a little bit of luck   With a map of the back of the country side you ride   Take a good ride and you'll never get rode   Take a left, take a right, take a breath of fresh air   Everybody goin' on the road      Repeat chorus
