A long drive on a summer’s day
Put my shades on and I’m on my way
Windows down; stereo up high
Eating up road under clear blue sky
Feeling good and I’m singing along
Rocking out immersed in every song
Looking cool give the girls a wink
Man, machine and rock ‘n’ roll in perfect sync
CHORUS:
I’m dreaming of that classic road trip
Route 66 or Highway 61
Liaisons and adventures on the way
One of these days you will find me gone
Cruising California State Route 1
Or coast to coast chasing that big old sun
Driving a Corvette or a Camaro
Feel that engine roar and away we go
(CHORUS)
I’m driving on the road
Hope to not get slowed
A clear run on the motorway will make me smile
The journey is the key
Destination secondary
The soundtrack carries me through each and every mile
Not really cool and in no Cadillac
Fortysomething in a family hatchback
Passing by unnoticed in reality
Buckle up and join my road trip fantasy
(CHORUS)
A long drive on a summer’s day (x 4)
Hey!
