Missouri Road Song

Oh good morning Missouri and how have you been

I've been moving all night just to see you again

And there's thunder behind me and plenty of wind

And mountains ahead where I'm goin'

This ragged old car says hello to you too

With many a mile since first we were though

Just a couple of drifters with nothin' to do

But go where the wind was a blowin'

Your corn fields lie waiting for the sweet summer sun

To bring back the life winter took on the run

And it's westbound through small towns with a song to be sung

A child on the open road

Oh good morning Missouri the sun's on my back

The sound of a horn of a fast-rolling mack

As it runs up behind as it burns down the track

Chasing the shadow before me

There's a feeling inside says I wish I could stay

Songs to be sung and there's places to play

And there's plenty of time on some other old day

To share one or two and remember

The dark of the night lifts away with the dawn

The fools on the road will be out before long

And the birds in the field lift to flight with this song

My song of the open road

The dark of the night lifts away with the dawn

The fools on the road will be out before long

And the birds in the field lift to flight with this song

My song of the open road

My song of the open road
