Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road
Well the stars may not shine
Neither the moon
What the heck we don't want no moon
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
Pull out the front, don't give me no sass
Take your foot slap it on the floor
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
Oh! the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
Flip out the front, don't give me no sass
Take your foot slap it on the floor
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
Well the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road

Well the way is dark
Despite the darkness that surrounds us
The night is long
And the night seems never-ending
I don't care if I never get home
I am willing to wait indefinitely at the end of the road
I'm waiting at the end of the road
I have reached the end of my journey and am waiting for my companion
Well the stars may not shine
The sky may be devoid of any shining stars
Neither the moon
And there may be no moon in sight either
What the heck we don't want no moon
But who needs the moon anyway
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
You can join me in my car and accelerate
Pull out the front, don't give me no sass
Move the car forward without any delay or backtalk
Take your foot slap it on the floor
Press down on the accelerator pedal hard
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
Once we reach our destination, we'll have some fun together
Oh! the way is dark
Once again, the night is dark and gloomy
The night is long
And once again, the night seems endless
I don't care if I never get home
But still, I am determined to wait at the end of the road
I'm waiting at the end of the road
Waiting patiently for you to arrive
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
Just like before, you can ride in my car and accelerate
Flip out the front, don't give me no sass
Once again, move the car forward quickly without any resistance
Take your foot slap it on the floor
Hit the accelerator pedal hard once more
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
And once we reach our destination, we'll have a good time together
Well the way is dark
Despite everything, we are still faced with darkness
The night is long
And the night never seems to end
I don't care if I never get home
But still, I am willing to stay here and wait for you
I'm waiting at the end of the road
Waiting once again at the end of my journey
