I don't know how long I'll be gone,
Window down, driving into town
There's an unusually warm wind blowing
& it's growing on me like a flower
If I take the higher road
I'll probably end up in a ditch
Standing with my thumb out
Tryna hitch a ride with you
I don't wanna feel separated now,
but I'm getting outta here & onto somewhere GOOD
I don't wanna feel separated now,
but I'm getting outta here & onto somewhere CLEAR
When you tell me you love me,
It's hard to see what you're seeing in me
Sometimes I just feel like fuzzy dice
Hanging up in your pickup truck
I don't wanna feel separated now,
but I'm getting outta here & onto somewhere MAJOR
I don't wanna feel separated now,
but I'm getting outta here & onto somewhere BIG
There's a day, there's a big big day
I'm getting outta here & onto somewhere FUNNY
There's a day, there's a big big day
I'm getting outta here & onto somewhere STRANGE
There's a day, there's a big big day
I'm getting outta here & onto somewhere PRETTY
There's a day, there's a big big day
I'm getting outta here & onto somewhere FINE
There's a day, and I hope we get there
Standing there with yr hair untied
Laugh at me, said "I'm on your side!"
There's a day and I hope we get there
We're falling out, and you just don't care
There's a day for us, if you stay right here
Keep yr seatbelt on, ride by my side
There's a big, big day !
