I never wanted to be taken
But now I'm feeling so left out
So I don't care where I go
I'm leaving
Yeah, I'm leaving

Got about a half a tank left
That could do but only if I'm lucky
But either way
I'm leaving
Oh, I'm leaving

On my way to paradise
A little voice says, 'Don't think twice'
And 'don't look back if you want things to change'

Ah, ah
I guess I'll have to love you from afar, ah
It's okay, 'cause all I need's my car
Out on the road, out on the road (but with nowhere to go)
Out on the road, out on the road I go

Out on the road, out on the road (but with nowhere to go)
Out on the road, out on the road

Takes about a week to get there
Maybe two if I stop to sleep it off here
But I can't sleep
So I'm leaving
Yeah, I'm leaving

Keep on driving through the night
To find myself a slice of light
To show me that I'm heading the right way

And ah, ah
I guess you'll have to love me from afar, ah
It's okay, cause all I need's this car
Out on the road, out on the road (but with nowhere to go)
Out on the road, out on the road I go

Out on the road, out on the road (but with nowhere to go)
Out on the road, out on the road I go

Out on the road, out on the road (but with nowhere to go)
Out on the road, out on the road

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
