Cruise Control

Open highway and a convertible car
full tank of gas cruising farther and far
Into the night alongside a silver moon
coasting my soul avoiding soon

Nowhere to go and nowhere to be
riding the lonely highway feeling free
Wind in my hair you on my mind
driving due west my heart blind

Taking my time no need for speed
driving on cruise control, my foot at ease
City of Angels will I find her there
will she accept me or even care

Promising not to see her I know I ought
but I must see her for she crowds my thoughts
No need to rush for something I know
got my heart on cruise control
