Lyrics
Eatin’ ‘Em Up
Three more hours to Memphis, chasin’ a blazin’ sun
I’ve been moving these fenders long as I can remember
And my journey has just begun
In those concrete towers my guess is
They ain’t havin’ a whole lot of fun
While I’m roamin’ through Wyoming, Colorado here I come
CHORUS
‘Cause I’m Eatin’ ‘Em Up
Rollin’ down the road of life
The highway is my family, this steering wheel; my wife
Eatin’ ‘Em Up
One thing is for sure
If miles were smiles I’d certainly be
The happiest man in the world
The USA is my oyster; a pearl around every corner
Like a bumper pool ball I’m seeing it all
From Rhode Island to California
There are easier ways, I’ll warn ya
But you’re gonna get what you’re willing to give
Keep your 747, I’ll take heaven on the Golden Gate Bridge
CHORUS
Going to Oklahoma by way of Tacoma
With a stop in Tennessee
Gimme Arizona where the nights are warm
There is where I’m gonna be
And when they build that turnpike across the Atlantic
Then I’ll be tearing it up in Japan
CHORUS
