I’m just sitting here in the dark, waiting for this life of mine to start. Wondering before I leave this world, will I leave a mark? Or is it true, and I’ve been doomed, from the start. But I’m getting so tired of being so alone, Take this burden off my back and leave it on the road Got to leave this place before it swallows me whole Find a little fresh air that really suites my soul And I’m headin out  on the road, finding that fresh air, that suites my soul And I’m headed out on the road, were it leads I don’t know Now I got some good friends, and there going to go with me Like good old Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy We headed out west till we found the sea. Hoping on this journey we find the meaning of the word free Cause we’re breaking those bonds of that mental slavery That were given cause we live in this society And we are all looking for a little something to believe But my position on that decision is completely up to me And we headed out on the road, finding that fresh air, that suites our soul And we headed out on the road, were it leads I don’t want to know Now driving across the land, and sleeping in a van Sweating in the dessert air, getting that beach sand our hair Sleeping on misty mountain tops, getting woke up by the cops Just going what we can, trying to find out how to be a man Playing music in the street, for a little change and something to eat Spending all you time and all your cash for a little bit of fun and a whole lot of gas When you heading out on the road, finding that fresh air that suites your soul And you head out, out on the road, were it leads you ain’t ever going to know And you head out, out on the road, You find that fresh air and it suites your soul And you head out, out on the road; you find it leads you home (Zeus's Woodshed)

On the Road (Lyrics)
I’m just sitting here in the dark, waiting for this life of mine to start. Wondering before I leave this world, will I leave a mark? Or is it true, and I’ve been doomed, from the start. But I’m getting so tired of being so alone, Take this burden off my back and leave it on the road Got to leave this place before it swallows me whole Find a little fresh air that really suites my soul And I’m headin out  on the road, finding that fresh air, that suites my soul And I’m headed out on the road, were it leads I don’t know Now I got some good friends, and there going to go with me Like good old Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy We headed out west till we found the sea. Hoping on this journey we find the meaning of the word free Cause we’re breaking those bonds of that mental slavery That were given cause we live in this society And we are all looking for a little something to believe But my position on that decision is completely up to me And we headed out on the road, finding that fresh air, that suites our soul And we headed out on the road, were it leads I don’t want to know Now driving across the land, and sleeping in a van Sweating in the dessert air, getting that beach sand our hair Sleeping on misty mountain tops, getting woke up by the cops Just going what we can, trying to find out how to be a man Playing music in the street, for a little change and something to eat Spending all you time and all your cash for a little bit of fun and a whole lot of gas When you heading out on the road, finding that fresh air that suites your soul And you head out, out on the road, were it leads you ain’t ever going to know And you head out, out on the road, You find that fresh air and it suites your soul And you head out, out on the road; you find it leads you home (Zeus's Woodshed)
