Eight years old in an Oldsmobile Mama's feet on the dash, Daddy's hands on the wheel Every ten minutes saying how long 'til we're there Watching the pines turn into palm trees With the windows down so I could breathe A little bit of that sweet saltwater in the air And those wheels keep spinning and they take me with them Just a road trip down to a beach town, but to me I saw the whole world in the backseat Seventeen in a hand me down I pick her up just to roll around And we'd drive out to where the lights don't hide the stars We were right where we wanted to be Didn't have to say a word to say everything We were trying so hard not to take it too far But then we'd take it too far And those wheels keep spinning and they take me with them Just a kiss in the middle of nowhere, but to me I saw the whole world in the backseat I saw the whole world in the backseat, yeah Here I am, grown up now, hospital bracelets, elevator down Grab the keys, pull the car around Buckle in the baby, safe and sound And those wheels keep spinning and they take me with them And those wheels keep spinning and they take me with them Just a look into the rearview, but to me I saw the whole world in the backseat I saw the whole world in the backseat, yeah Yeah, I saw the whole world in the backseat
