Lyrics
We're riding in it, a mile a minute, there ain’t no limit, kick it in “overdrive…”
Out on the highway of life, the Interstate of my mind
I walk the shoulder and I yell at traffic, all of the time
(I've got some work to do on this life of mine)
Then you go by, you ride in style, you flash a smile at me that makes…me…high…
Satellites up in space
They fly all over the place
Tracking your position, the ignition in my heart starts to race
I've got a feel for what is real and what is not—
And you're for real, so really real, I really feel you've got to, really got to let me cool your wheels 'cause they're HOT
(Instrumental break)
There's a continuous line along the side of the road
Running from yesterday right through tomorrow—well, what do you know?
This is exactly how I hoped it would go
Your custom sled with bath and bed, a kitchenette, motor home sweet home
Satellite radio
Plays every song that we know
And every place and face and memory trace becomes a part of the show
I've got to feel our love's for real, and if it ain’t…
We’ll work it, milk it, make or break it, shake and bake it baby, just don’t ever fake it girl I’ve got no complaints (I’ll take it…)
