He slammed the door behind him
Called his daddy "dumb"
He left home with tomorrow
A-ridin' on his thumb
No particular direction
Seventeen and scared
Hitched a ride beside the road
Driver said "Son, where you goin?'"
He said "anywhere but here"
If you don't know where you're goin'
Any old road will take you there
When it's ramblin' seeds you're sowin'
You can't find the will to care
Any way you travel
Red dirt, clay or gravel
Lost without a prayer, destination anywhere
Any old road will take you there

A little all night café
A young woman there in tears
The waitress says "You want some coffee?
Does anybody know you're here?"
She slowly tells a story
Says "He don't love me anymore,
I left my ring there by the bed
And I don't know what lies ahead
I've never been this 'gone' before"
If you don't know where you're goin'
Any old road will take you there
When it's ramblin' seeds you're sowin'
You can't find the will to care
Any way you travel
Red dirt, clay or gravel
Lost without a prayer, destination anywhere
Any old road will take you there
Sometimes the road is narrow
Sometimes the path is straight
At times we face so many curves
Our turns are hard to take
If you don't know where you're goin'
Any old road will take you there
When it's ramblin' seeds you're sowin'
You can't find the will to care
Any way you travel
Red dirt, clay or gravel
Lost without a prayer, destination anywhere
Any old road will take you there
Out there runnin' scared
In the middle of nowhere
Any old road will take you there
