[Verse]
Out on the open highway
Such a lovely day but something's wrong
(Something must be wrong) Something, something's just wrong
Just left home this morning
This old road keeps rolling on and on
(Rolling on and on) Rolling, rolling on and on

[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody help me (Somebody help me)
Somebody help me (Somebody help me)
Somebody help me (Somebody help me)
Somebody help me (Somebody help me)

[Chorus]
I have never been so lonesome and a long way from home
(I've never been lonesome and a long way from home)
Lonesome and a long way from home

[Verse]
Out on the open highway
Such a lovely day but something's wrong
(Something must be wrong) Something, something's just wrong
Just left home this morning
This old road keeps rolling on and on
(Rolling on and on) Rolling on and on
