Smash Mouth - Road Man Lyrics






Road man driving in the road van
He's got to beat the clock to the next town
Road man driving in the road van
I set up the sound system for the band
Road man slow it down
And you will get there safe and sound
He says no no no the show must go on
Road man driving like a mad man
Breaking land speed records in the van
Road man he don't mind police man
Leaving a trail of ripped up citations

[Chorus]
Road man heavy load
He's got to stop and smell the rose
Road man he says no go
I've got to be the king of the road
Road man didn't see the train man
Until it was too late to slow the van
Meanwhile the band is waiting for the Road man
Who was crushed by his beloved sound system

[Chorus]

    smoking a bowl to this right now

  17. S.... K....

    This is the only song from smashmouth that sucks ass to me

  18. S.... L....

    If this song had a video, it would be as successful as the others in the album.

    S.... L....

    i'd imagine it as a trippy reggae video in jamaica

  19. J.... G....

    I informed rodeman to slow it down. He apparently would have made it safe and sound.

  20. B.... I....

    Brandon Wardell sent me. I'm here ironically.

  21. B.... N....

    Why does he have a fake accent

    B.... N....

    did you like your own 2 comments?

    B.... N....

    Lol yeah that fake accent

    B.... N....

    Bethany Nutter I think that's the joke, or it fits the song

    B.... N....

    this accent was part of the joke, artistically inputed on the song.

    B.... N....

    Because it’s an homage to really straightforward Reggae, but they also realize they can’t really copy the style that well so they exaggerate it and have fun with it.

  22. J.... S....

    There is a local radio personality in NE Ohio, named Kenny Roda, and he has been known to use this on his shows as bump music, due to his nickname being " The Road Man" I admit, I really like this song :D

  23. C.... ....

    My friend despises this song, simply because I'm always singing it!

  24. A.... E....

    Dope! Love this shit man

  25. S.... r....

    S.... r....

    Skull riot thrasher to Vicky

    S.... r....

  26. J.... ....

    This song's hilarious and love the reggae vibe. Sucks how most people ONLY know Smashmouth for All Star and I'm A Believer, but forget what a cool 90s band they were with all the cool songs from their first 2 CDs.

    J.... ....

    exactly.

  27. j.... o....

    The one dislike didn't grow up in the 90'$. Smash Mouth! \m/ O_O \m/

    j.... o....

    this album came out in 1999

  28. R.... T....

    Love this song and love Smash Mouth thank god I'm a 90s kid born in the 90s but wasn't till the new millennium that better music woulda came out and the death of the Boy Bands would end that era and we get the rise of the teen sensations like Aaron Carter and Hiliary Duff as well!

    R.... T....

    long live the 90s

  29. s.... n....

    Good song

  30. W.... C....

    Hello YOUTUBE..! I'm the Gentleman that this Song is Written about..! Greg Camp from Smash Mouth Original Guitarist/Primary Song Writer for the Band gave me the name back in 1994, then Wrote & Dedicated the Song in My behalf on January 29, 1997 then Smash Mouth but it on this 2nd Album of theirs...! If you listen to the Song closely you can figure the meaning of the Song....   Key words are at end of Song... "I get Crashed by my Beloved Sound System.. ie like a "CAPTAIN going down w/ His Ship...!

    W.... C....

    W.... C....

    No I don't know the guy I only listen to his music

    W.... C....

    Its says crushed by his sound system cuz a train comes and it is to late to slow the van

    W.... C....

    Crash Bandicoot car montage for my dream movie version!

  32. T.... ....

    Man, it's been years since I've heard this song.  And I still can't listen to it without a big smile on my face.  This song is just a blast to listen to.  It's so much fun.

  33. r.... ....

    r.... ....

  34. w.... ....

    it so great to know im not the only one who didnt forget smashmaouth and relegate them to the realm of failed 90's bands with some hit kids songs...they were WAY more than all star and believer!!!!

  35. D.... S....

    @moneymaker302010 I disagree. the only good part is actually 0:00 to 2:31 . 2:32 sucks because the song is over

  36. P.... H....

    One of my most favorite Smash Mouth song's of all time.
