Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Knew you'd be a vision in white
How'd you get your pants so tight?
Don't know what you're doing
But you must be living right, yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh, we got some places to see
I brought all my maps with me
So jump in, it ain't no sin
Take a ride in my machine
[Verse 3]
City traffic's moving way too slow
Drop the pedal and go, go, go
[Verse 4]
We going riding on the freeway of love
Wind's against our back
We going riding on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac
We going riding on the freeway of love
Wind's against our back
And we're riding on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac
[Verse 5]
Never you mind the exit signs
We've got lots of time
We can't quit till we get to the other side
Ah-ha, ah-ha
[Verse 6]
With the radio playing our song
We keep rolling along
Who knows how far a car can get
Before you think about slowing, slowing down? Yeah
[Verse 7]
City traffic's moving way too slow
Drop the pedal and go, go, come on now, go
[Verse 8]
We going riding on the freeway of love
Wind's against our back
We going riding on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac
We going riding on the freeway of love
Wind's against our back
And we're riding on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac
[Verse 9]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 10]
Here we go
One more time
With the wind and your fingers in my hair
Kind of think we're going for an extended throw down
So drop the top, baby, and let's cruise on into
It's Better Than Ever Street
[Verse 11]
City traffic moving way too slow
Drop the pedal and go, go, come on, baby, go
Do it for me now
[Verse 12]
We going, riding on the freeway of love
Wind's against our back
We going riding on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac
We going riding on the freeway of love
Wind's against our back
And we're riding on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac
[Verse 13]
And what I want you to do, baby
(Freeway of love) Get over in the left lane
And let's merge with peace, oh, yeah
(Freeway of love) Take the Love exit
And then make a right turn
[Verse 14]
(Freeway of love) Go on over to Love and Satisfaction and Joy Road
Well, (Freeway of love) ain't we riding, baby?
Ain't we cruising down?
Free, free, free, go on out to (Free, free, free, freeway)
Let's Be Good to Each Other Street (Free, free)
(Freeway) Well
[Verse 15]
(Freeway of love) See that little landmark over there?
A whole lotta kisses and sweet stuff
(Freeway of love) We'll be just about
And Satisfaction Road, yeah (Free, free, free)
Satisfaction, yeah (Freeway)
