Everybody's Going On The Road Lyrics - Hoyt Axton

Take a bridge across a river wide 

Everybody's goin on the road (wide road) 

Glad it's on the other side of the highway 

Weighed less'cause I eased my burden 

Pick a day for certain and you'll lighten up your lad 

You can take a lady or a dog if you wanna 

Everybody goin'on the road 

Sea captain goin' on the road 

Takes a crew to sail the ship 

A sea captain on a sailin' ship 

Well do you wanna go with me or he? 

We'll be the ones who sang in the rigging 

Get your ticket 'fore it shoves off from the shore 

Take a trip on ship this time 

You'll never go to sea no more 

Repeat chorus 

Now my lady friend's goin' on the road- 

Takes her dog and my truck and rolls across the land 

She's goin' to Santa Fe-leavin' me a lonely man 

I take pleasure to see my friends happy 

I'll be the pappy if she'll be the ma 

I had the pick of the pick this time 

Sweetest lady that I saw 

Repeat chorus 

Well there's a city fella goin' on the road 

He'd like to catch a ride on a semi-truck 

A city fella goin' on the riad 

Just might run into a little bit of luck 

With a map of the back of the country side you ride 

Take a good ride and you'll never get rode 

Take a left, take a right, take a breath of fresh air 

Everybody goin' on the road 

Repeat chorus
