Lyrics
My car is small but solid
She doesn't need much gas
Compact and nimble, I like to keep it simple
Plenty of miles left
For going fast
No bells or whistles
No European design
Just a damn good engine
And a smile, yeah
(Chorus)
So many roads
so many ways to go
I'll follow one, leave the rest behind
Open the window
Push the pedal down
and watch me fly
Nothin' like a long trip
Down some old back road
To ease my busy, busy mind
Through rows of sea pines
Past city skylines
Friendly people wave as I go by
Just give me a good map
And a country highway
You, my love, please say
You're going my way
(Chorus)
Sometimes I look back
In the rearview mirror
Just thinkin' about yesterday
But I've gotta know what's up around the bend
It keeps me movin' on
And I wouldn't go back anyway, anyway
When there's so many roads
So many ways to go
I'll follow one, leave the rest behind
So open the window
Turn up the radio darlin'
And watch me fly, watch me fly
