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 we stood   She said, "Johnny, this ain't no good   You made the highway your home   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, winds      There's a crazy lady with a high-heeled shoes   She could take away my homesick blues   Lately I feel a little crazy too   Yes I do, man, yes I do      Got a double sleeper and hell on wheels   Come on sweet thing, show me how love feels   Down the open road, down the open road   Down the open road   Ooh, somewhere down the open road      She don't break down, she don't run cold   Sees heart and soul like a pot of gold   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
