Start the car and call the road your friend
Tell the girls and the Lord above
You'll think fondly and call back now and then

Head out of the city
Go find what they brought you down here for
Take that shiny penny
That daddy gave you from the day that you were born

And make a wish that dreams come true
Go on sail the ocean blue
Ride a highway like the wind
Drink the good times down like sin
Go on, take that car and drive so far
It looks like you're comin' home again

Stare at the moonlight
And threaten every star it won't be long
You tell 'em this is the very last night
I look to you to make sense of it all

Then head into the city
Electric lights that shine from dusk till dawn
Take that rusty penny
Throw it in the air and then move along

And make a wish that dreams come true
Go on sail the ocean blue
Ride a highway like the wind
Drink the good times down like sin
Go on, take that car and drive so far
It looks like you're comin' home again

You can't go back but you can't come back 'round
Let the world know as you roll through town

Make a wish that dreams come true
Go on sail the ocean blue
Ride a highway like the wind
Drink the good times down like sin
Go on, take that car and drive so far
It looks like you're comin' home again

Yeah, take that car and drive so far
It looks like you're comin' home again

Start the car and call the road your friend
Tell the girls and the Lord above
