Little Highways

Saturday, baby, a sweet afternoon

Head out the window, a ghost of the moon

Follows us closely that look in her eye

Knows we've been waiting for a change in the tide, yeah

And you say

I'd give up my weekend, I'd give it a try

It takes a new meaning as you roll on your side

A shuffle of paper, our keys on the dash

It won't be forever but we know it'll last

Somebody else might say we've gone sideways (sideways)

Sayin' we traded up freedom for chains, am I right?

But somehow these guardrails turned us around

And gave us our own little highway

To throw ourselves down

Work it out one day at a time

Is the only thing on my mind

We might not get it all right

But don't hang on too tight

One goddamned day at a time

Is the only thing on my mind

Don't hang too long a line

And don't hang on too tight

It's me and you baby, the world's out there dying

Look at it falling into the deep side

And sure we'll find ourselves slipping in time

But it's me and you baby, we'll be alright

Somebody else might say we've gone sideways (sideways)

Sayin' we traded up freedom for chains, am I right?

(Am I right)

But somehow these guardrails turned us around

And gave us our own little highway

To throw ourselves down

Work it out one day at a time

Is the only thing on my mind

We might not get it all right

But don't hang on too tight

One goddamned day at a time

Is the only thing on my mind

Don't hang too long a line

And don't hang on too tight

Take a second just to let it in

We'll never be those kids in California again

But we'll be something else

Just you and me, kid

It's me and you baby

(One day at a time)

It's me and you baby

(Is the only thing on my mind)

It's me and you baby

(One day at a time)

It's me and you baby

(Is the only thing on my mind)

It's me and you baby

(One day at a time)

It's me and you baby

(Is the only thing on my mind)

It's me and you baby

(One day at a time)

It's me and you baby

(It's me and you baby)

(It's me and you baby)
