Lyrics

I got the radio blastin'
I got the windows rolled down
And I'm cruisin' these backroads
On the outskirts of town
And I can feel the wind a-blowin'
Hear the big engine whine
When I'm cruisin' these backroads
All my troubles are behind
Well, when I woke up this mornin'
Well, I took me a look outside
It was plain to see it was one of those days
Tailor-made for taking a ride
So, I went downstairs and cleared my head
With coffee and cigarettes
And when it hit me right there
Then my mind was set
Well, I phoned work and told 'em
They're going to be a man short today
I got the sunny day blues, there's only one thing
That's gonna make them go away
So, I went out and I climbed in to my big old Chevrolet
And with a turn of the key and a cloud o' dust
I was on my way
I got the radio blastin'
I got the windows rolled down
And I'm cruisin' these backroads
On the outskirts of town
Well, I can feel the wind a-blowin'
And hear the big engine whine
When I'm cruisin' these backroads
All my troubles are behind
Well, maybe I did, maybe I didn't
Go and lose my job today
But you can take my cares, take my worries
And blow them all away
For there comes a time in every man's life
When he's got to break free
I got four good wheels and an endless road
Stretched out in front of me
I got the radio blastin'
I got the windows rolled down
And I'm cruisin' these backroads
On the outskirts of town
And I can feel the wind a-blowin'
Hear the big engine whine
When I'm cruisin' these backroads
All my troubles are behind
I got the radio blastin'
I got the windows rolled down
And I'm cruisin' these backroads
On the outskirts of town
And I can feel the wind a-blowin'
Hear the big engine whine
When I'm cruisin' these backroads
All my troubles are behind
