I've got the radio blastin' I've got the windows rolled down And I'm cruisin' these backroads on the outskirts of town I can feel the wind a-blowin' Hear the big engines whine When I'm cruisin' these backroads All my troubles are behind
Well when I woke up this morning Well I took me a look outside It was plain to see it was one of those days tailor-made for taking a ride So I went downstairs and cleared my head with coffee and cigarettes And when it hit me right there then my mind was set
Well I phoned work and told'em they're going to be a man short today I got the sunny day blues, there's only one thing that's gonna make them go away So I went out and I climbed in to my big ol' Chevrolet And with a turn of the key and a cloud of dust I was on my way
REPEAT CHORUS
Well maybe I did maybe I didn't Go and lose my job today But you can take my cares, take my worries and blow them all away For there comes a time in any man's life when he's got to break free I got four good wheels and an endless road Stretched out in front of me
