A Human Named David - Highway

I said hey Miss America I wrote you a poem
Got a trunk full of fireworks and a night worth blowin'
We can drive till the morning no clue where we're goin'
Down the highway

And I got my radio with a brand new antenna
And I read "On The Road" I know all about adventure
And I'm sorry it's no Ferarri got some scratches and dents
From the highway

Oh I got a plan
I'm gonna leave this town
And by leave this town
I mean leave right now
G-d damn sometimes a man
He's just got to get out
And by got to get out I mean
Run like lightning

Maybe we'll make it darling
And maybe we're too late
But I'd die trying to drive
Around the world in a day
I know I'm human girl
And shit, I've made mistakes
But I'd die trying to drive
Around the world in day
In a day

So it's pedal to the metal like they're saying in the movies
And I always pack lunch in case I'm stranded in the boonies
If you don't like my driving 1-800-You Can Sue Me
And the highway

And I've got no destination at least nowhere in specific
And I heard they built a brand new bridge cross the Pacific
And the asphalts almost dry at least I think the boys are finished
On the highway

Oh I got a plan
I'm gonna leave this town
And by leave this town
I mean leave right now
G-d damn sometimes a man
He's just got to get out
And by got to get out I mean
Run like lightning

Maybe we'll make it darling
And maybe we're too late
But I'd die trying to drive
Around the world in a day
I know I'm human girl
And shit, I've made mistakes
But I'd die trying to drive
Around the world in day

All I need is six cylinders
Hess oil drillin' her
Ninety miles an hour down the highway thrillin' her
I'm always fillin' her up and never lettin' her down
I need a proud pretty lady in the passenger seat
With a short skirt on who don't mind the heat
No, oh

I said hey Miss America I wrote you a sonnet
And it's sealed with a kiss and it starts with a promise
That no matter where I go
On my mind you're on it
Like a highway

Oh and I got a plan
I'm gonna leave this town
By leave this town
I mean leave right now
G-d damn
Sometimes a man he's just gotta get out
And by gotta get out I mean
Run Like Lightning
