Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the summertime when it's hot outside
Streets are bare, there's no one there and the valley's wide
There comes a time to hearts of gold
Leave together, run forever on the open road
[Verse 2]
They gotta go-o-o-o-o, go-o-o-o-o-o-o
They gotta go-o-o-o-o, go-o-o-o-o-o-o
[Verse 3]
In the wintertime when the day is long
You're halfway there, the field is bare and the fire's gone
Are you all alone, are you feeling cold?
You'll find your flame, call her name and hit the road
[Verse 4]
You gotta go-o-o-o-o, go-o-o-o-o-o-o
You gotta go-o-o-o-o, go-o-o-o-o-o-o
[Verse 5]
You gotta go-o-o-o-o, go-o-o-o-o-o-o
You gotta go-o-o-o-o, go-o-o-o-o-o-o
You gotta go-o-o-o-o, go-o-o-o-o-o-o
You gotta go-o-o-o-o, go-o-o-o-o-o-o
