{v1}
I was 17 and a couple of months
Out with my friends, kickin' up some dust
Cruisin’ along, down ‘ole 66
Everyone’s singing “On the Road Again”
With no particular place to go
Just us, our tunes and the open road
It’s days like this I would not trade
It’s no wonder we would say…
{chorus}
Let’s go on a road trip
With the sun in our face
We have a full tank of gas
We can go anyplace
North, South, East, West
It doesn’t really matter
Let’s leave this town
We can drive forever
It doesn’t get any better than this
Yeah, let’s go on a road trip
{v2}
It was a quarter ‘til 3 when I finally got home
Opened the door, tried not to wake a soul
I knew my folks would be steaming mad
I really hoped they would understand
My mom was there waiting on the other side
With wonder and worry in her eyes
I said, don’t you remember your good ‘ole days
When you and your friends would say….
{chorus}
{bridge}
My mom just stood there and stared at me
And said, why don't you throw me your dang keys
Your dad won't know he's still in bed
Then I couldn't believe when she said…
{chorus}
It doesn’t get any better than this
Yeah, let’s go on a road trip
