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 A hundred and fifty-five dollars 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, ah? Well I'm hoping it's so, but you can't really know till the end And 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, ah? 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, ah? Ma, will we make out?
