Ode To The Road - The Longest Johns

Yes I’m a landlubber, and I love the land

So maybe our journey was longer than planned

But who can put prices on what we have done

The trials we have faced and the battles we’ve won

I hands-free my sweetheart

«Far off?»

«No, not long!»

Just enough time for the end of this song

We’re making good progress, there’s naught left to do

But sing of our victories, join in me crew!

This is our ode to the road

Our song for the street

A harmony laden tribute of the pavement

From all of these five seats

We’re driving away

And come what may

But soon we’ll be home

And no more we shall roam

Until we’re off again

Whahey!

A toast to the asphalt;

the most hallowed ground

And all the adventures so readily found

Fending off pirates from rare parking bays

Eating those fries with some BBQ glaze

Going our own way when told to turn round

One finger waves when our brothers are found

No errand too drudging or journey too small:

Myself and me crew will relish them all

This is our ode to the road

Our song for the street

A harmony laden tribute of the pavement

From all of these five seats

We’re driving away

And come what may

But soon we’ll be home

And no more we shall roam

Until we’re off again

We get the call from my love

«Can I get a lift to pilates?»

Strap yourself in, my kids

We’re on again me hearties!

'Cause every trip’s an adventure

No matter the size or the cause

So give a roaring cheer

I hear the road and it calls

This is our ode to the road

Our song for the street

A harmony laden tribute of the pavement

From all of these five seats

We’re driving away

And come what may

But soon we’ll be home

And no more we shall roam

Until we’re off again

This is our ode to the road

Our song for the street

A harmony laden tribute of the pavement

From all of these five seats

We’re driving away

And come what may

But soon we’ll be home

And no more we shall roam

Until we’re off again
