Hoyt Axton - Everybody's Going on the Road lyrics

rate me

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
