Lyrics
Sunday afternoon, nowhere I need to be Windows rolled down low and the road is wide and free Radio's on soft Sunshine on the dash Hand out the window riding the breeze Take the long way, take the long way round Sunday drive with the windows down Every little town gives a wave Every little tune is one I crave No map, no rush, no frown Sunday drive with the windows down Past the lemonade stand and the white church bell Kids on bicycles, and all is well Old man on the porch Lifts his hat, a torch Of kindness handed out to passing cars Take the long way, take the long way round Sunday drive with the windows down Every little town gives a wave Every little tune is one I crave No map, no rush, no frown Sunday drive with the windows down Let the engine hum Let the clouds drift slow Some days you're going nowhere And that's the place to go Gold light on the hills as the day begins to lean I'm heading home at last, but the road is kind and green One more bend, one more song Then I'll let the evening along Home is just the place that waits for me Take the long way, take the long way round Sunday drive with the windows down Every little town gives a wave Every little tune is one I crave No map, no rush, no frown Sunday drive with the windows down
