Lyrics

I was making my way through Kansas City
when things started falling apart,
and I might make it all the way to the coast,
but I might not get too far.
And I know, from this point on,
that I'll be rooting for this old car.
I was the luckiest guy in Kansas City
when I heard that engine start.

Well, it's hard to enjoy a scenic view
when it's weighing on your mind
that it's a long way from here
to the end of the line.
when they handed me, back the keys
to this old car
they said you might make it all the way to the coast,
but you might not get too far.

Cho:
And we're going to ride
through the deserts and past the parks
all the while -
hoping things don't fall apart
And when it's late at night,
and we're wishing on a shooting star
in Sante Fe - we're on our way
riding along in my old car.

It's a long way to go - Ohio -
California coastline.
That's eight states that separate
two different staes of mind
I was heading out but I hit KC
and ran into a flood.
I had trammy fluid pouring out of my car
dark red just like my blood.

Down at the shop they got me back on the road,
but for how long I don't know.
And the highway never ends
when you're driving in New Mexico.
well, I hope someday I'll come this way
maybe sometime when I'm driving back
and enjoy these hues, these scenic views
with my piece of mind intact.

repeat chorus

I was making my way through Kansas City
when things started falling apart.
and I might make it all the way to the coast
but I might not get too far.
And I know, from this point on,
that I'll be rooting for this old car.
I was the luckiest guy in Kansas City
when I heard that engine start.

Revise Cho:
And we're going to ride
just trying to put this trip away.
It's do or die
the whole rest of the way.
It's one more night
and probably two more days.
I don't know if I'm going to make it
I just know what I heard them say
