Song Description

Take these city lights - leave them far behind I've made up my mind - I'm gonna head for the sun.

Lyrics

And I'm on my way
It's got to be today
c'm on, c'mon


Woke up late today
I ran fifteen blocks
and still missed my train
and I started to think
is this the life for me

Don't mean to complain
but I was waiting for the cabbie
in the pouring rain
when I said to myself -
Hey
When you gonna set me free

You and me we got some places we ought to see
We had best be on our way

Come on open road
you know where I want to go
Bring that ocean close
for me to see
Take these city lights
Leave them far behind
I made up my mind
and I believe,
I'm gonna head for the sun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm gonna head for the sun


I woke up late today
but I made it to the water
time to catch my wave
and I started to think
Yea, this is the life for me

And i don't mean to boast
but I was sippin on a coconut
with sand in my toes
and I heard that old voice say
hey you're quite a sight to see
Me and you we had an awful lot that we had to do
but now that's through and we're on our way

Come on open road
you know where I want to go
Bring that ocean close
for me to see
Take these city lights
Leave them far behind
I made up my mind
and I believe,
I'm gonna head for the sun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm gonna head for the sun


Put my shades on  drop that top
off the funky old jalopy
that I copped from the shop
and i'll be honest
I don't know how many miles she gon last
but I gonna push to the last with my foot on the gas

And If you ask me
Man, I don't need that much
I need a little bit to eat
and somethin cold in my cup
I need a fire on the beach
and someone snuggling up
and I'll be chillin like
enough is enough

Come on open road
you know where I want to go
Bring that ocean close
for me to see
Take these city lights
Leave them far behind
I made up my mind
and I believe,
I'm gonna head for the sun
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm gonna head for the sun
