Listen to the motor getting louder as we go One way or another, gonna make it back home Mountains to the water chewing up the scenery Fog,it only hovers, or the blinding sun beams This is what he does traveling the open road Get her on the double, make it right away This is what he loves Traveling the open road Now she's talking dirty I get there in a hurry and see You don't have worry, a secret little birdie told me Keeping things in motion, baby keep on running for me Only static on the radio, pick up speed Hear me out mama, I don't mean for you to weep Get back to you tomorrow, now don't you lose sleep This is what he does traveling the open road Hey it's nine thirty My vision's getting blurry and weak I'd get there in a hurry but the police are following me Keep it in perspective, maybe come visit and free me K-9 unit on the interstate, Nashville, Tennessee Keep things in motion baby, keep on running for me Only static on the radio I'm picking up speed
