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
