Lyrics
---ECONOLINE---
Frontage road Janie's hitching her way, trying to catch a ride on a West coast day.
She shot us a smile and we stopped right on a dime.
We asked her, "where you headed?" she said anywhere is fine.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Joanna's tapping out the rhythm on the wheel-well Billy's shooting the hole like a bat out of hell.
Janie's making waves with her hand out in the wind-stream, boys in the back in the wake of her hair-dream.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
And we were riding in our Econoline, chrome and steel and leather - what a sweet ride!
Riding in our Econoline, she's a real dream machine in-hand. She can stop right on a dime.
Econoline, Econoline, Econoline, Econoline!
Junk food drive-thru, FM...tune it in, out of State license plate; my shoulder's suffering.
Tonight were gonna break out. Tonight we'll catch the show... commuter lane glory is where the wild things go.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
And we were riding in our Econoline, custom painted blue flames on the side!
Riding in our Econoline, when she takes us out she's always the coolest ride in sight!
Econoline, Econoline, Econoline, Econoline!
And we were riding in our Econoline, she's a real mean machine; look out! She's a thunder in overdrive!
Econoline!
Riding, Riding in, Idling high, riding, humming fine, riding in, a V-8 block, riding, Halleluiah!
Riding on a highway wave, riding to a distant shore, riding come and take a trip, riding in our freedom ship.
E. C. O. N. O. L. I. N. E!
