Mother Road

You've made your decision to leave

there's no turning 'round.

Now that you've got a reprieve,

you must stand your ground.

Some of the others are weak,

so you must be strong

$155 won't last very long...

Ma, will we make out,

do you think that this old car

will last?

Pa, is there some doubt,

if our bad luck will

stay in the past?

Well I'm hoping it's so,

but you can't really know til the end.

They tell me that all things must change

but they begin again.

Listen to the motor and the road

and how does it feel?

Listen with your ears and your hands

on the steering wheel.

Ma, will we make out,

do you think that this old car will last?

Pa, is there some doubt,

if our bad luck will stay in the past?

Listen now boys,

what your ma has told you

there is no way we can tell...

We've got to face this road together

and have some faith

in ourselves.

Ma, will we make out,

do you think that this old car will last?

Pa, is there some doubt,

if our bad luck will

stay in the past?

Ma,

Will we make out?
