I kind of took my uncle's old tray back, my mom was made and my bags were packed
And that GPS was set for Tennant Creek
No books to keep, no business suit, no weeds to grow beneath these boots
And ain't nobody here be missing me
I can't keep on hanging around this continental breakfast town
I've done all the damage I can do
So I better get on down the road as fast as I can go
Gonna let these big wheels roll, crank up that radio
Hold my hat down and get on down the road
There's places that I wanna see
There's people that I need to meet
And there's parties I should be tending to
If I find some pretty girl who rings my bell and rocks my world
I'll say, baby, I'm just passing through
I don't like to see them cry, I don't like to say goodbye
There ain't much left for me to do
So I better get on down the road as fast as I can go
Gonna let these big wheels roll, crank up that radio
Hold my hat down and get on down the road
I've always had a gift, you see
Knowing when it's time to leave
So I better get on down the road as fast as I can go
Gonna let these big wheels roll, crank up that radio
Hold my hat down and get on down the road
I better get on down the road as fast as I can go
Gonna let these big wheels roll, crank up that radio
Hold my hat down and get on down the road
Get on down the road
I better get on down the road
Get on down the road
Oh, baby, put your hat down
And get on down the road
Get on down the road
Yeah, I'm gonna let this day be long
