on Friday night we pack the car
as soon as you get home
your hair's a mess from waitressing
and I've been here alone
but come the morning and all of that
we'll leave here with the bills
just seven hours if we cut across
the Pennsylvania hills
and as we drive we'll talk about
the places that we'll go
first Central Park then every single
record store we know
and don't you worry,
SoHo without money can be hard
we've got no cash, but I've got
this brand new credit card
so let the day come now
we'll pay for gas somehow
'cuz only a morning drive
can make us feel alive
the years have passed and suddenly
we spend our nights at home
and our weekends maintaing
all the things that we now own
but when we find a moment
here or there to spend on maps
we plan out road trips to coincide
with our son's daily naps
so let the day come now
we'll pay for gas somehow
'cuz only a morning drive
can make us feel alive
