Listen to the motor
Getting louder as we go
One way or another

Gonna make it back home

Mountains to the water

Chewing up the scenery
Fog it only hovers
Or it blinds us on beams


This it what it does
Traveling the open road


Get here on the double
We'll make it right away


This is what it loves
Traveling the open road


Now she's talking dirty
I'll get there in a hurry and see

You don't have to worry
A secret little birdie told me
Keeping things in motion

Baby keep on running from me
The static on the radio
I'm picking up speed


Hear me out mama
I don't mean for you to weep

Back to you tomorrow
Now don't you lose sleep


This is what it does
Traveling the open road


Ooohhh,
Ahh, Ooohh


Hey it's 9:30
My vision's getting blurry to me
I'll get there in a hurry

But the police are following me
But keep it in perspective
And maybe come and visit for free

And I hear it on the interstate in Nashville, Tennessee

Hey, Hey,

Hey, Hey,
Hey, Hey,
Ooohh


Keeping things in motion
Babe you're running from me

The static on the radio
I'm picking up speed


Hey, Hey,
Hey, Hey,
Hey, Hey,

Ooh, Oooh
