Lyrics
I was drivin on freeway 5,
my wheels were whinin gettin me hypnotized/
on my left I heard a hummin,
I turned to see a Suv a'commin/
a woman was drivin that suv,
and handled the wheel with a real tease/
she looked over and when she caught my glance/
I figured we were goin to have a FREEWAY ROMANCE(cause I'd heard of that before)
chorus:
I said Oh baby isnt this fun?
a FREEWAY ROMANCE be my first one
I know a place where we can go, come on let it roll.
cruising 65, going to the limit ,
my fingers wave a tickle and she started grinning/
she licked her lips, it was nothing but inviting,
and that ring in her nose made it more exciting/
side by side, there was no denyin,
we weren't goin fast but we were sure makin time/
we both turned east and my heart began to dance.
I began to enjoy this FREEWAY ROMANCE/
chorus:...
then too soon she began to pull away,
turned her pretty head, gave a pretty little wave/
I tried to catch up but she left me lost,
with my tank on empty, and my nose full of exhaust/
no regrets, it was fun while it lasted,
I couldn't see my exit until I'd passed it/
but you know, if i have another chance,
I'll go ahead and have a FREEWAY ROMANCE
chorus:.....
( there she goes/ so long/ been nice seeing you/
catch you later/ have a good weekend/ )
