Lyrics
Road Trip
© 2016, John Gerard Macchietto
Verse 1:
Driving down the highway on a road trip
Adventure seems to take me with a firm grip
Routine is just a rival I can cope with
As long as I can get to take my road trip.
Chorus 1:
Driving is my freedom
Exploring America's so awesome
The road and I have a kinship
It's why I need my road trip.
(Bridge)
Verse 2:
Driving down the highway on a road trip
I enjoy the land and feel amazement
The road and I have something of a friendship
I love to drive the highway on a road trip.
Chorus 2:
America leaves me speechless
Its beauty - deep and endless
The road and I have a kinship
It's why I need my road trip.
(Bridge)
(Instrumental)
Chorus 1:
Driving is my freedom
Exploring America's so awesome

Chorus 2:
America leaves me speechless
Its beauty - deep and endless
The road and I have a kinship
It's why I need my road trip.
It's why I need my road trip.
I've got to take my road trip.
