Eisenhower is the father of the interstate highway system And my song is just a way to pay a little tribute to him On that road my true love and I rode from Ohio to Pittsburgh And our separate cars gave me the time to think of ways to try and kill/kiss him Our separate hearts beat out of time without someone to find the rhythm When we held last night I thought I felt them simultaneously clickin'
I've got a thought in my head - Would it really be so bad If the tire exploded Or if the car ran out of gas? Would it be so so horrible If we had to miss a few shows because The car broke down in the countryside And we had to spend the night there? And would it be oh-unbearable If we misplaced all our clothes when We swam in the river and we had to hang out in nothing but our underwear? And would it be totally terrible If we got a few hours off track when We fell asleep in the grass at the rest stop where I once read
Eisenhower is the father of the interstate highway system And so this song is just a way to say a little thank you (Thank you!) to him On that road my true love and I rode from New York to Toronto Our separate cars gave me the time to think of ways I could enthrall him Our separate hearts beat out of time without someone to bang the bongos On the last night I said, "I know you know exactly how my song goes"
Would you think it was stupid of me To suggest that we don't get any sleep Even though we're getting up a six AM To drive all the way to Michigan I've got a song in my heard It says it better than I ever could have Because I'd love just once to see you I'd love just once to see you (I'd love just once to see you) I'd love just once to see you (I'd love just once to see you) I'd love just once to see you in the noon.
