Take the road to Tonganoxie
Just before Suncatcher Lake
Go past the cemetary
Oh child, please don't make me wait
'Cause there's something wrong with what I've done
I haven't got much time
I can't stay here in Kansas
I've gotta cross the line
So take me down to the Missouri
On the way to Arkansas
The devil's in a hurry
To see what my momma saw
And now I'm on the run
I got no other place to go
Except down the Stranger Road
I walked straight out the back door
I covered up my tracks
My poppa thinks it's criminal
So I ain't comin' back
'Cause there's something wrong with what I've done
I haven't got much time
And what I want and what I need
Is all I have in mind
So take me down to the Missouri
On the way to Arkansas
The devil's in a hurry
To see what my momma saw
And now I'm on the run
I got no other place to go
Except down the Stranger Road
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
The blood runs hot
But the eyes are cold
Drivin' down on stranger road
Oh, the blood runs hot
Oh, But the eyes are cold
Drivin' down to hell on Stranger Road
Take me down to the Missouri
On the way to Arkansas
The devil's in a hurry
To see what my momma saw
And now I'm on the run
I got no other place to go
Except down the Stranger Road
Except down to Stranger Road
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
