Back in 1958,
[F#m] we drove an old V8, [B] and when it'd gone a hundred thou, got [E] out and pushed
it a mile.
We didn't know who we were, we [A] didn't [F#m] know what we did.
[B] We were just on [E] the road, heading down from Canada, [F#m] on a ground in Montana.
[B] Then my daddy read a sign, and took us in the wrong [E] direction.
I asked my daddy, where are we going?
He [A] said, we'll just follow our nose.
[B] So I looked out the window and dreamed I [E] was a cowboy.
We didn't know who we were, we [A] didn't know what [F#m] we [B] did.
We were just on [E] the road.
Met a girl in a truck cafe, [A] fell in, [B] and the Mercury was [E] ready to go.
I had to leave her.
[B] Shooby dooby doo shadoo, shooby dooby doo shadoo.
[E]
Go home, said the man in the moon, [A] go home.
[B]
[E]
Because it's getting sort of late, and [A] I'll soon turn out my [F#m] light.
[B] Go home, said the man in the moon, [E] go [B] home.
[E] We didn't know who we were, [A] we didn't [E] know what [F#m] we did.
[B] We were just [E] on the road.
We didn't know who we were, we [B] didn't know what we did.
[E] We were just riding [B] on, [E] we were just [A] riding [B] on.
