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
