A love song about an imaginary roadtrip. The idea being that there are some people you would go anywhere with, wherever life or the road could take you, you’re just happy to be side by side. And when these things come along, it’s best not to overthink them and just let it ride. I wrote this in my basement on a borrowed Yamaha DX-7. The twinkly synth part is still magic to me.

Lyrics:
You pulled up in your ’76
You said “baby, you wanna go for a trip?”
Well, let’s go
Cause I’ve been idling out for awhile
With nobody to help me count the miles
They go slow
So pick me up
On your way out of town
I don’t care where we end up as long as you’re around
If you’re driving, baby, I wanna go
And if we’re vibing, baby let’s let it flow
I don’t know which way we’re headed
Or how wild the winds will blow
But if you’re driving
If you’re driving
Baby, I wanna go
The elephant in your car
Is that we both know we’ve never let it go
This far before
But if forever was a highway that’d be all right
I could sit by your side and talk to you all night
So pick me up
On your way out of town
I don’t care where we end up as long as you’re around
If you’re driving, baby, I wanna go
Sit beside you and wave out of the window
I don’t know which way we’re headed
Traveling far or traveling slow
But if you’re driving
If you’re driving
Baby, I wanna go
So pick me up
On your way out of town
We got lost out there last time but I know that we can still turn things around
If you’re driving, baby, I wanna go
And if we’re vibing, baby, let’s let it flow
I don’t know which way we’re headed
Or how long the fire will glow
But if you’re driving
If you’re driving
If you’re driving
If you’re driving
If you’re driving, baby, I wanna go
