The spelling of "gat show on road" may seem unfamiliar at first glance, but it is actually a phonetic representation of the phrase "got to show on the road." The IPA phonetic transcription can help explain this spelling. "Gat" is pronounced /ɡæt/ and represents the sound of the word "got." "Show" is spelled phonetically as /ʃoʊ/ to indicate the long vowel sound in the word. Finally, "on" is represented by /ɑn/ to reflect its pronunciation in American English.
