Walkin' on a country road.

We're drinking my friend,
To the end of a brief episode.
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road.

strung out from the road,

We're off on the road to Morocco,
This camel is tough on the spine

Ellen (nursescrubs) said...

I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
Always on my way to something new.
But it doesn't matter,
'Cause no matter where I go,
Every road leads back,
Every road just seems to lead me back to you.

(notably sung by Bette Midler)

Trying to loosen my load
I got seven women on my mind

And the big road's pushing through along the valley floor.
Hot machine pouring six lanes at the very least.

And they lay down behind me
To sleep beside the road
Till the morning has come
Where they know they will find me
With my maps and my faith in the distance
Moving farther on

Farther On
Jackson Browne

Why don't we d-do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road...
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road

Follow that road

Follow that road
Back through time, back through distance, back to me

Follow the yellow brick road!
Follow the yellow brick road!
Follow, follow, follow, follow,

Is he washed in the blood as well as the water?
Does he make enough money to take my daughter
Down the road?

--I heard this only once, in a grocery store that plays country music. The chorus was "down the road" and it had a "Sunrise/Sunset" (Fiddler on the Roof) feel to it.

Well I'm so tired of travelling but I'm out on the road again,
I'm on the road again
