Jet black Cadillac sitting in the drive
Like a time machine it takes me back to another life
When sweet sixteen was as good as it gets
I was out burning rubber, I was smoking cigarettes
Just like James Dean and Steve McQueen out on the highway
I was free as I could be as soon as I left the driveway
With the radio up and the windows down
Couldn't wait to jump in and get out of this town and
Drive into the red sunset
And I never will forget
That top down feeling
Running down the stars
I'd shoot across the sky
And try to see how far
I could drive
The way I feel behind the wheel it's like I'm flying
Yeah I know the open road was made for driving
From 30A to the PCH
There ain't no better way to see the US of A
State to state I'll make my way across this country
From sea to shining sea I'll be the one in the front seat
No need for a map cause I've been there before
Yeah just keep the compass west and press the pedal to the floor and
Drive into the red sunset
And I never will forget
That top down feeling
Running down the stars
I'd shoot across the sky
And try to see how far
I could drive
You can catch me out there redlining
Looking for a good time
Cause every mile marks a memory
I'm driving til the sunshine
Gives way to moon light
I'm waving goodbye going seventy
Drive into the red sunset
And I never will forget
That top down feeling
Running down the stars
I'd shoot across the sky
And try to see how far I could
Drive into the red sunset
And I never will forget
That top down feeling
Running down the stars
I'd shoot across the sky
And try to see how far
I could drive
