On the Road Songtext
von Les Deuxluxes

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
Slip on down from everybody′s side"
Oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road

He was so charming and was dancing next to me
But I knew somehow that he was hiding something from me
Spark in his eye and a devilish grin
I couldn′t resist going off with him
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
Oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road

A little shaken up by what had happened back there
I had to pull into a gas station for a little gas
The sign on the wall seemed to read my fate
My man was wanted for murder across ten states

Well, I ran to the phone as fast as I could
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"
Oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road
