early On the Road demo - YT Audio - Cindy M - 07-04-2019
Song 2 from early demo. In Your Eyes was added a couple weeks ago, See You Soon will be coming later today.
Happy 4th - I couldn't think of any suitable songs MJ sang. Drop the Big One?
Written by Carl Franzen
Slightly different lyrics and melody than the recorded version.

Back in 1958, we drove an old V-8
And when it turned a hundred thou
We pushed it a mile
We didn't know who we were, we didn't know what we did
We were just on the road
Heading south from Canada
On a graveled road a mile from Montana
Then my daddy read the sign
That took us in the wrong direction
We didn't know who we were, we didn't know what we did
We were just on the road
I asked my daddy where are we going
He just said we're following our nose
So I looked out the window
And dreamed I was a cowboy
We didn't know who we were, we didn't know what we did
La La...
I met a girl in a truck cafe
I fell in love almost right away
But the Mercury was ready to go
And I had to leave her
Go home, said the man in the moon, go home
Go home, said the man in the moon, go home
Because it's getting sorta late, and I'll soon put out my light
So go home, said the man in the moon, go home
We didn't know who we were, we didn't know what we did
We were just on the road
We didn't know who we were, we didn't know what we did
La la...
We were just a-moving on the road
