Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do ya need a break from modern livin'?
Do ya long to shed your weary load?
If your nerves are raw and your brain is fried
Just grab a friend and take a ride
Together upon the open road
C'mon, Maxie, ah-yuk!
[Verse 2]
All in all, I'd rather have detention
All in all, I'd rather eat a toad
(Yuck!)
And the old man drives like such a klutz
That I'm about to hurl my guts
Directly upon the open road
[Verse 3]
There's nothin' can upset me
'Cause now we're on our way
Our trusty map will guide us straight and true
[Verse 4]
Roxanne, please don't forget me
I will return some day
Though I may be in traction when I do
[Verse 5]
Me and Max relaxin' like the old days
(This is worse than dragon breath and acne)
In a buddy-buddy kind of mode
(I'm so mad, I think I may explode)
When I see that highway, I could cry
Ya know, that's funny, so could I
Just bein' out on the open road
[Verse 6]
Howdy, boys
Is this the way to Nashville?
Watch it, Mac!
Or you'll be gettin' towed
I'm in no hurry to arrive
'Cause I'll be turnin' sixty-five
The next time I sees the open road
[Verse 7]
Just a week of rest and relaxation (Yeah!)
And the odd romantic episode (Very odd)
And it's Californ-eye-ay or bust
Look out you dirtbags, eat my dust
From now on, I own the open road
[Verse 8]
It's me and little Maxie, my pipsqueak pioneer
(Their car ventures forever westward ho) Yeehaw!
Could someone call a taxi and get me outta here
To Beverly Hills 9-0-2-1-0?
[Verse 9]
Oh, every day another new adventure
Every mile another new zip code
And the cares we had are gone for good
And I'd go with them if I could
I've got no strings on me
I'm feelin' fancy-free
How wonderful to be
On the open road!
