Grand Caravan

In a way that lease we broke is a good thing you see
We can travel forever now, it only just set us free

We can see the sights outside the city lights
Come on with me sweetie, we'll soar to new heights

We can go to the ocean and put our toes in the sand
Wish upon the stars and sleep in the Caravan

There are truck stops with pretty good Dinners
Nothing to stop us, unless we get flat tires

I can make some money there playing my guitar solos
We'll keep basically to ourselves and ignore the hobos

I know a interstate highway that runs west
We'll save money bathing as we're dressed

We could lay out and drip dry on the shore
And then never want for anything more

Lets get that sixty two dollars out of the bank
It will be more than enough to fill up the tank

Just you and me against the open road
We can search the beaches for lost gold

Just pack up the van with only our clothes
In no time at all, we'll be smelling like a rose
