lyrics

Travels With Charlie

The heater's kicking it's five below
We've got a deal but it's quid pro quo
She'll get some oil if we get there alive
Changing lanes, drive baby drive
No-doze and a fold up map
We're getting there on time
or else we're getting there on time

Faster miles an hour now we're up to speed
Who cares about the MPG
She's belching and lurching like a sailor on leave
Pistons punching like Muhammed Ali
No-doze and a fold-up map
We're getting there on time
or else we're getting there on time

There's no place like the road
To make me feel at home
Spin baby rock and roll
Everything is under control
There's no place like the road
To make me feel at home
Where everything is under control
Spin baby rock and roll

This old dog has got inspection
goes so fast, don't need directions
I pass you on the left, you pass me on the right
Exit up ahead, we could stop for a fight
Black coffee and a fold-up map
We're getting there on time
or else we're getting there on time

There's no place like the road
To make me feel at home
Spin baby rock and roll
Everything is under control
There's no place like the road
To make me feel at home
Where everything is under control
Spin baby rock and roll
