Southbound on the 101
Hair flyin', got the wind in my face
A lotta curves to negotiate
Down the coast in my '68
Like a little red rocket down by the sea
Tearin' up the road, sun's shinin' on me
I got the top down
I got the top down
I'm blowin' right by all of the speed limit signs
I know your waitin' at the end of the line
I got the top down
Another hour and it's down with the sun
Traffic buzzin' on the Redwood Highway
Right foot down, and my heart's in a race
I'm gonna see you and I just can't wait
There's an oldies station on the radio
A little guy out of Memphis singin' "go cat go"
I got the top down
I got the top down
I'm laughin' at all of the speed limit signs
'Cause I know you're waitin' at the end of the line
I got the top down
Instrumental Bridge/Solo
We can spend a little time out on the beach
Sun-glasses on, waves kissin' our feet
We can go walkin', baby, hand-in-hand
And write our names in the pearly white sand
Wanna cover you with kisses, gonna drive all night
I've got the stars to guide me and I'm burnin' daylight
I got the top down
I got the top down
I'm blowin' right by all of the speed limit signs
I know your waitin' at the end of the line
I got the top down
I got the top down
I got the top down
I'm laughin' all of the speed limit signs
I know your waitin' at the end of the line
I got the top down
I got the top down
I got the top down
