Lyrics
Got a map we never opened and a cooler full of ice A drummer who's still sleeping and a bassist who's still nice The sun's coming up behind us and the road is wide and clean Best day of the whole damn summer, and we've only just begun Nobody's waiting, nobody's late Windows down and the radio's great Nothing but blue sky and a full tank Nothing but a ribbon of road and the gas gauge pointing right Clap your hands and ride along, we're gonna make it by the night Nothing but blue sky and a full tank We stopped for pie at noon at a place that had no name The waitress said we looked like trouble, we said we'd do the same We tipped her twice in quarters and we left a song instead She whistled it behind us as we headed on ahead Nobody's waiting, nobody's late Windows down and the radio's great Nothing but blue sky and a full tank Nothing but a ribbon of road and the gas gauge pointing right Clap your hands and ride along, we're gonna make it by the night Nothing but blue sky and a full tank Maybe we'll break down by a river, maybe we'll sleep in a field Maybe we'll never get anywhere, and that's the deal But there's a stretch of highway coming with a curve I'd like to meet And I've got three good brothers and a rhythm in my feet Nothing but blue sky and a full tank Nothing but a ribbon of road and the gas gauge pointing right Clap your hands and ride along, we're gonna make it by the night Nothing but blue sky and a full tank Blue sky and a full tank Blue sky and a full tank
