Barry Seymour - Road Trip

Me and Susie drivin' up the road to Ishpeming, my 69 station wagon, funky rusty thing
It's dark and cold and late at night and something's goin' thump, I think the transmission died when I hit that bump
The window's stuck half open, first gear is all I got, the air is freezing cold, the engine's running hot
Good thing Susie was an easygoing gal, gettin' her back home was good for my morale
Road Trip - you never know where you'll end up
Road Trip - drive on down or back it up
Road Trip - through the rain or in the snow
Road Trip - how far you really wanna go
Geraldine's gotta see her parents down state, she says her daddy summoned her, it isn't gonna wait
She's askin' me to share the work by drivin' through the night, (gotta) make down it to U of M before the morning light
I'm drivin' her old Mustang while she's sleeping in the back, we roll up by six am don't have a heart attack
And then she drops me off, says "you're on your own," so I found another girl who's gonna take me home
Road Trip - Your path may take a turn
Road Trip - there's a lesson to be learned
Road Trip - so many miles from home
Road Trip - wanderin's in my bones
And then there was the time I drove Chicago to LA
White lines, truck stops and music all the way
I didn't have Google just a map and almanac
Leavin' home at last and I was never lookin' back
Tire chains in the mountains, desert thunderstorm, driving for the captain in my Navy uniform
Honeymoon, vacations, drive myself to work, stay alive on 405, no driving like a jerk
Nowadays I'm slowin' down I don't get out too much, all the cars are automatic, they don't have a clutch
I put in a lotta miles to get me up to here, someday I'll take another trip and maybe disappear
Road Trip - I still got places left to go
Road Trip - I still got things I need to know
Road Trip - I won't be stayin' here for long
Road Trip - get on in and come along
