about

We've all wanted to grab out best friend, say "F**k the world," and hit the road before. So I wrote a song about it.

lyrics

Sweet little sister,
Let me take you for a ride
Grab some clothes and jump inside
Tell the world we're gonna hide

I've got some cash to burn
And time enough to spend
On the road with my best friend
But it could be fun to pretend

That I'm your man, and you're my girl
If some roughneck in a dive bar tried
To take you for a whirl;

Sweet little sister,
There's the city limits sign
Leave your worries far behind
Because the futures undefined

Best part about this?
Doesn't matter where we go
The highway told me so,
We're the only ones who'll know

Lean your chair back, and close your eyes
When you wake your weary head
We'll both be closer to the prize

Can't help but wonder, why'd we wait to roam,
Chase the thunder, feel it rumble in our bones,
Let's make a pit stop, let's find a phone,
Dig a quarter from the ashtray, say we're never coming home

Sweet little sister,
Don't forget to watch the skies
Catch some stardust in our eyes
We just might be surprised

If we
Make a little wish
Upon a shooting star
That we follow in the car
I'll drive, you play guitar

Girl won't you play me, something sweet,
I'll try to keep the rythym
With the wheel and my feet

Sweet little sister,
Hope our story never ends
But if it ever does my friend
Send a letter now and then

I'll want to know about
The roads you're traveling on,
The sights you look upon,
When the sun rises to dawn
On a brand new day
