Road Trip   by John Holmes (2003)

What's more fun and freeing than hitting the road on a sunny day? I wrote this after buying a new rig, fresh in the joy of traveling. John Anderson did an interesting thing with an old trombone slide we had lying around connected to a saxophone mouth piece to get a sound of an automoblie (the bone-car).

LYRICS
I just sealed a deal on a new set of wheels
And you know I'm feeling mighty fine
Gonna hop in the car and take a scoot so far
With a pretty little friend of mine
Take a ride through the countryside
Out through the desert pines
Rollin down the road with the cruise control
Got the seatback in recline
Put the pedal to the metal and head down the road
Put the heat on the tires, let's go

We're takin a road trip
Get out of town
Yes takin a road trip
Top's going down
We're takin a road trip
Pick it up and let's go
Way out of town

I got the sun on my head
Got the wind in my hair
And you know I'm feelin mighty fine
Don't know where we're going till we get there
Driving in the bright sunshine
Gotta picnic basket in the rumble seat
Little fishing rod and line
Driving out so far underneath the stars
With the bears and the porcupines
Got no clock to punch, nobody's waitin so
Just an open road, let's go

We're takin a road trip
Get out of town
Yes takin a road trip
Top's going down
We're takin a road trip
Pick it up and let's go
Way out of town

Flippity flop, down goes the top
Rising up a brand new day
Get up early, I'm feelin squirrely
Gotta little time to play
Taking a spin, diggin in the wind
Headin down the east highway
And when the driving's done we're gonna have some fun
Kick up our heels and stay
Got no clock to punch, nobody's waitin so
Just an open road, let's go

We're takin a road trip
Get out of town
Yes takin a road trip
Top's going down
We're takin a road trip
Pick it up and let's go
Way out of town
