Hit the Road Lyrics

Oh, you can take the high road
Or you can take the low road
Go the way the wind is blowin′
Take the main road, the side road
The crossroad, the railroad
As long as you keep goin'

Now, if you ever get mad
With a very young lad
You better do what I tell you
Don′t you rave, don't you shout
Don't you even start to pout
Here is a very simple sample

Now, I took a stroll with a boy in the park
We found a bench in a spot that was dark
Then he tried stealin′ a kiss
But what did I say, what did I say?

Hit the road

Down on the square where the hopefuls all meet
Someone was makin′ a speech in the street
But just then somebody hollered
"Hey, the light's green"
Now, what did he mean?

Hit the road

When you′re annoyed with anyone, don't get mad
Don′t rave, don't shout
Just count to ten and then politely say
"Get lost, bail out"

I′ve dished it out to you folks for a spell
Now, just to prove that I can take it as well
I'll let you give it to me, I'll leave it to you
What′ll I do?

Hit the road

Hit the road

If he gets fresh in the dark
Hit the road
And if he suggests that you park
And if he tries to steal a kiss
Well, what do you say?

Hit the road

Hit the road

And if he should hand you a line
And if he says
"Honey, what is yours should be mine"
If you have a date at eight
And he comes at nine
So, what do you say?

Hit the road

When you′re annoyed with anyone, don't get mad
Don′t rave, don't shout
You better count to ten and then politely say
"Hey, get off my back"

We′ve dished it out to you folks for a spell
Now, just to prove that we can take it as well
We'll let you give it to us, so what′ll we do?
Oh, what'll we do?

Hit the road

All right, we'll hit the road
