Get into the car and buckle up good
I'll get us some gas and check under the hood
I got me a map and some CD's to play
So everything's set, up, up and away
We're going on a road trip
Start counting all the different license plates
Going on a road trip
We're crossing all of these United States
What's it gonna be, a burger and fries
Maybe a taco or some chicken, bite size
There's homemade pies at that old country store
A road trip picnic, you can't ask for more
We're going on a road trip
So much to see along the Interstate
Going on a road trip
From the Verrazano to the Golden Gate
Isn't it amazing
When you're gazing through a windshield view
Singing along
To the radio's song
Life is a highway, it's true
You can see mountains and meadows and streams
Drivin' through deserts as big as your dreams
Great big cities with their mighty skylines
Or pass by a farm with grapes on the vine
We're going on a road trip
It's good for a laugh, you can bet
Going on a road trip
When you ask your parents, "Are we there yet?"
