Give Me A Full Tank And A Six Pack

                    Not a bad legacy for a guy who didn't get going until he was in his forties

The road snakes out of the city
The horizon opens up sky high wide
Hills covered in trees look pretty
Got the setting sun as my guide
The radio is down to a few stations
All of them feature oldies and country
Beach Boys Good Vibrations
A tired DJ for company
Singing along with high harmonies
Mangling Brian's genius
Out of tune out in the boonies
Mike's voice makes me envious
In the miles of endless prairies
The clean air makes you delirious

Off ramp for a service station
Fill 'er up
Trucker's bumper sticker decry's taxation 
Don't concern myself with that
Want to make another hundred miles
Be that much closer to the coast
There's a small town up aways
Be that much closer to the coast
There's a small town up aways

Dashboard is a drumset
Wish it had a bit more bass
BTO You ain't seen nothin' yet
Big Semi ahead sets the pace
Figure he knows the road is open
Not a trooper in sight
Be that much closer to the coast
There's a small town up aways
Be that much closer to the coast
There's a small town up aways

Tomorrow I may be feeling wistful
For that girl I left behind
Maybe that's me being wishful
There's truth about love being blind
And I've got a few miles to drive
Be that much closer to the coast
There's a small town up aways
Be that much closer to the coast
There's a new town up aways
