On The Road Lyrics

He took my hand and he said to me
I want you to come out on the road with me
No need to say a word, just need to leave tonight
We'll slip on out from everybody's sight

I oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road

He was so charming and was handsome as can be
But I knew somehow that he was hiding something from me
That spark in his eye and that devilish grin
I couldn't resist going off with him

I oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road

Well we got picked up and began to drive
With his arm around me, it was sure to be a nice ride
Til he put a gun to the driver's head
And demanded all the money or he'd shoot him dead I oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road

A little shaken up from what'd happened back there
I asked to pull into a gas station for a little air
A sign on the wall seemed to read my fate
My man was wanted for murder across ten states
Oh, I ran to the phone as fast as I could
I feared for my life and I knew that I should
I tried the operator but the line was dead
I turned around and the gun was pointed at my head

And he said:
“The road ends here. Farewell my dear, it's time for you to disappear.”

I oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road
