Sweet Terrain
Constantly down shifting
Riding the clutch
Can’t get higher than 2nd
Too much traffic keeping me from you
My mind is racing
If only these cars would
Stalled on this exchange
Thinking about getting to you
Taking this exit
No congestion here
GPS working well
I’ll be there quicker
Finally, shifting to 5th
Giving the clutch a rest
Driving as fast as my mind thinks
To be with you
I’ll pick you up
Let’s take a drive in the country
Study the trees and the sweet terrain
Behind us small in the rear view mirror
We can park in the shade
Walk through the tall Midwest grass
Wade in the cool creek
You are my sweet terrain
