Listen to the motor 
Getting louder as we go 
One way or another 
Gonna make it back home 

Mountains to the water 
Chewing up the scenery 
Fog it only hovers 
Or it blinds us on beams 

This it what it does 
Traveling the open road 

Get here on the double 
We'll make it right away 

This is what it loves 
Traveling the open road 

Now she's talking dirty 
I'll get there in a hurry and see 
You don't have to worry 
A secret little birdie told me 
Keeping things in motion 
Baby keep on running from me 
The static on the radio 
I'm picking up speed 

Hear me out mama 
I don't mean for you to weep 
Back to you tomorrow 
Now don't you lose sleep 

This is what it does 
Traveling the open road 

Ooohhh, 
Ahh, Ooohh 

Hey it's 9:30 
My vision's getting blurry to me 
I'll get there in a hurry 
But the police are following me 
But keep it in perspective 
And maybe come and visit for free 
And I hear it on the interstate in Nashville, Tennessee 

Hey, Hey, 
Hey, Hey, 
Hey, Hey, 
Ooohh 

Keeping things in motion 
Babe you're running from me 
The static on the radio 
I'm picking up speed 

Hey, Hey, 
Hey, Hey, 
Hey, Hey, 
Ooh, Oooh
