Lyrics

On the road, on the road
On the road, on the road

On the road to Viridian City
I'm on my way, I'm on the road, I'm on the road
On the road to Viridian City
Yeah, yeah. I'm on the road.

We've built a team and we've been
training all day long
We're on the road and getting strong
Getting strong, getting strong

Now here's the plan:
We're gonna head down to the forest
Time to collect some Pokémon
Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all

We keep on tryin'
And then we try some more
To stay together
And find a place worth fighting for

I'm on the road
I'm on the road to Viridian City
Meet my friends along the way (I'm on the road)
We're on the road to Viridian City
I got a badge and the power to play

Gotta get there,
I'm on my way,
Gotta get there,
Viridian City

I left my home and now I see a new horizon
But one day I'll come back to Pallet Town (I'm coming back, coming back)
I'm on the road to become the greatest trainer
And I won't quit until I'm #1 (Gotta be the one, the 1,01)

We keep on tryin'
And then we try some more
To stay together
And find a place worth fighting for

I'm on the road (to Viridian City)
Meet my friends along the way
I'm on the road to Viridian City

I'm on the road
I'm on the road to Viridian City
I'm on the road (to Viridian City)
We're on the road to Viridian City
Gonna meet my friends along the way (C'mon let's play)
I'm on the road to Viridian City (You wanna be the one?)
I got a badge and the power to play (Gotta train hard)
We're on the road to Viridian City
Challenge on another day (On the road on the road, let's get on the road, C'mon)
On the road to Viridian City, on the road, on road (Viridian City, Here we go Here we go, C'mon)
Viridian City (Viridian City)
On the road to Viridian City, yeah on the road, on the road (Yeah we got a badge, And the power to play, C'mon)
Viridian City,
On the road to Viridian City, on the road, on the road (On the road, on the road)
To Viridian City (yeah C'mon)
On the road to Viridian City, on the road, on the road
Meet my friends along the way, (Viridian City)

C'mon let's go
