*** Road Trip ***
We get some food, a map, some tapes, we shove 'em in the van.
We're goin' on a little trip. Why? Because we can.
What's there to do, what's there to see? Well, no one really knows.
But if you wanna find the answer, well, you've gotta be the one who goes.
People won't do it for you, so we'll see you on the other side.
And if you ask us what we saw, we'll get just a little snide.
See, you were too busy to come along and see it with your own eyes,
You can't complain about what you've done, you didn't even try.
chorus:
Let's get away from the hassles of this life.
We don't know where we're goin', we're just tryin' to escape this strife.
When things seem like they're too much, like you just can't bear the load,
Take a break, get out on the road...
You lie there in your living room, your feet up on a stool,
Your eyes fixed upon that bright, remote-controlled jewel.
You read your books of far-off lands and places you should go,
Of explorers, treks, adventurers, Richard Leaky, Jacques Cousteau.
Sequestered in your home at night, chained to your job by day,
Jailed by your fear of the unknown, you want to go, but stay.
You sit at home and listen to what others say is true.
Yes, you know facts about the world but know nothing about you.
(chorus)
Some of you think your job's too tough, your house needs cleaning, STAT!
One thing or another's takin' up your time, you're left feeling rather flat.
You need the big bucks for your pride, or maybe for your vanity,
But what's really more important, your money or your sanity?
You make excuses left and right, try to avoid the truth.
But you're never too old for a little fun, it's not just a whim of youth.
So whether your road is paved with tar or whether it's paved with dreams,
Jump in your car, turn the key, and let forth this untamed scream:
(chorus)
