Black road, Georgia trees
Midnight moon, just stay with me
Like a lighthouse in the sky
Let these eighteen wheels fly

Woke up this morning in a Motel Five
The day is dawning, I'm gonna drive
Through the night
Down that open road

I asked her where we stood
She said, "Baby, this ain't no good"
You made the highway your home
And I'm just tired of livin' alone

So you go your way and I'll go mine
And maybe someday you'll find
What you're looking for
Down that open road

Well, I've been down this road many times
And Lord, I've tried to find
Some peace of heart, some piece of mind
But this road just winds and winds

There's a crazy lady with high heeled shoes
She could take away my homesick blues
Lately, I feel a little crazy too
Yes, I do, ma'am, yes, I do
Got a double sleeper, I'm hell on wheels
So come on sweet thing
Show me how your love feels
On the open road

Down the open road
Down the open road
Down the open road
Down the open road

She don't break down, she don't run cold
She's my heart and soul, she's my pot of gold
She's the white lines when I'm driving blind
A hundred more miles and she's right on time

Right on time
Right on time
Right on time
