Lyrics Out on the Open Road - The Mike Grillo Sound

Driving to Paducah in a pick-up truck - freedom from the daily grind
Nashville, Tennessee - now, is some way back - Memphis even further behind
Down in Louisiana just a week ago - spent some time in New Orleans
Seeking out the jazz but I could only find - music from a different scene

Out on the open road - all the way down to Mexico
Out on the open road - around the U.S.A. - taking it slow
Out on the open road - crossing the county lines to and fro
It's the only way to go - out on the open road

To St. Louis and Chicago in the driving rain - on the legendary '66
Stopping by to see old friends along the way - in Springfield and Metropolis
Listening to some country on the radio - message from the Jesus crew
When I get to town I'm gonna hit the bars - gonna sink a beer or two

Out on the open road - all the way down to Mexico
Out on the open road - around the U.S.A. - taking it slow
Out on the open road - crossing the county lines to and fro
It's the only way to go - out on the open road

Out on the open road - we're taking our time from city to city
Out on the open road - soon we'll be heading for home
When we would rather still could be - out on the open road

Out on the open road - all the way down to Mexico
Out on the open road - around the U.S.A. - taking it slow
Out on the open road - crossing the county lines to and fro
It's the only way to go - out on the open road
