Lyrics

If you?ve got some wheels
And you?ve got some time to kill
Take a look like a child
Who hasn?t seen the world

Take an American car
To an American highway rest stop
Take it out too far
Take it out too far

There?s the easy listening
There?s the trucker with shampoo
There?s the Smith College rugby team
Walking awkward in their shoes

An American car
An American highway rest stop
Take it out too far
Take it out too far

Everyone?s watch tells a different time
Everyone?s face rings a different bell
It?s my idea of heaven
It?s her idea of hell
It?s the ?Fine Gourmet Dining? at 4 in the morning
It?s a roadside wishing well

It?s the dripping vanilla
It?s the burning smell
It?s the seeing-eye dog in the truck
If God takes you away before you die
This is where you end up

An American car
At an American highway rest stop
Take it out too far
Take it out too far

Just an American car
At an American highway rest stop
Take it out too far
Take it out too far
