Lyrics
IN A WINNABEGO
GEORGE AND BETTY GOT MARRIED IN 1944
AND THEY LEFT THE KEYS TO THAT OLD STONE HOUSE
WITH A NOTE INSIDE THE DOOR
AND THEY?RE PUTTIN? GAS IN THE TANK AT JENSEN?S TEXACO
THEY?VE LOADED ALL THEY EVER NEED AND THEY?VE TAKEN TO THE ROAD
AND IT?S DRIVE, DRIVE , DRIVE? IN A WNNABEGO
AND IT?S LIFE, LIFE, LIFE? IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE
AND IT?S LOVE , LOVE, LOVE? OUT THERE ON THE HIGHWAY
MAKIN? THEIR WAY DOWN THE ROAD
IN A WINNABEGO
THEY SOLD EVERYTHING THEY OWNED IN A BIG YARD SALE
AND THEY?RE HOPIN? THAT THE KIDS WILL STOP BY AND CHECK THE MAIL
THEY GOT A THERMOS FULL OF COFFEE
THEY GOT WINSTONS ON THE DASH
THEY GOT PICTURES OF THEIR GRAND-KIDS
THEY GOT POCKETS FULL OF CASH
AND IT?S DRIVE, DRIVE , DRIVE? IN A WNNABEGO
AND IT?S LIFE, LIFE, LIFE? IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE
AND IT?S LOVE , LOVE, LOVE? OUT THERE ON THE HIGHWAY
MAKIN? THEIR WAY DOWN THE ROAD
IN A WINNABEGO
GEORGE?S DAD NEVER MADE IT BACK FROM WORLD WAR TWO
AND OL? BETTY?S LOVED AND LOST HERSELF AT LEAST A TIME OR TWO
AND THEY?RE LEAVIN? ALL THE PAST BEHIND A MILE AT A TIME
SO GIVE ?EM A WAVE IF THEY?RE DOWN YOUR WAY
AND YOU SEE THEM ROLLIN? BY
AND IT?S DRIVE, DRIVE , DRIVE? IN A WNNABEGO
AND IT?S LIFE, LIFE, LIFE? IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE
AND IT?S LOVE , LOVE, LOVE? OUT THERE ON THE HIGHWAY
MAKIN? THEIR WAY DOWN THE ROAD
IN A WINNABEGO
OH LAT DA DA DA ETC.
