[Banjo Introduction] [Verse 1] He drove an RV from Missouri to Maryland..... Packed up 2 dogs, 2 boys and his wife..... He drove all day and he drove all night...... Those dogs were howlin' while the boys got to scrappin' and the wife was yellin'...... Oh what a journey it turned out to be..... [Chorus] Drivin' down the interstate..... And that RV was rollin' like a freight train..... Tryin' his best to keep an eye on the road..... Tryin' his best to keep the dogs quiet..... Tryin' his best to stop the boys from fightin'..... Tryin' his best to please his wife..... Tryin' and failin' and sometimes doin' all right..... [Verse 2] They went up and down those Missouri hills doin' at least 25 Backsides achin' from sittin' down and stayin' still too long Headin' into the Land of Lincoln and hopin' for some peace But those dogs kept howlin'.....Those boys kept scrappin'.....and the wife kept yellin' Oh Lord, what's a man to do........ [Chorus] Drivin' down the interstate..... And that RV was rollin' like a freight train..... Tryin' his best to keep an eye on the road..... Tryin' his best to keep the dogs quiet..... Tryin' his best to stop the boys from fightin'..... Tryin' his best to please his wife..... Tryin' and failin' and sometimes doin' all right..... [Verse 3] Finally up ahead he could see the Maryland state line, Just a few more hours and he could have some rest, Just a few more hours and he could have some peace, Finally reached the uncle's house and out they came, The dogs stopped howlin'..... the boys stopped scrappin'..... and the wife gave him a hug and a big ole sloppy kiss! [Chorus] Drivin' down the interstate..... And that RV was rollin' like a freight train..... Tryin' his best to keep an eye on the road..... Tryin' his best to keep the dogs quiet..... Tryin' his best to stop the boys from fightin'..... Tryin' his best to please his wife..... Tryin' and failin' and sometime doin' all right..... [Musical Outro]
