Well the way is dark The night is long I don't care if I never get home I'm waiting At the end of the road Well the stars may not shine Neither the moon What the heck we don't want no moon I'm waiting At the end of the road You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas Pull out the front, don't give me no sass Take your foot slap it on the floor When you get ahead we'll rock some more Oh the way is dark The night is long I don't care if I never get home I'm waiting At the end of the road You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas Flip out the front, don't give me no sass Take your foot slap it on the floor When you get ahead we'll rock some more Well the way is dark The night is long I don't care if I never get home I'm waiting At the end of the road
