What if we packed a bag
Said goodbye to mom and dad
Left all of our worries in the past
Forget about those nine-to-fives
Trade 'em in for maps and miles
Hit the road before we change our minds
And we'll drive through Colorado with the mountains up above
Down the coast of California, watch the sun set on [C7]us
Learn that there is more to [C7]life than "going by the book"
We'll write it our own way, on [C7]our way across the states
We aren't the kind for [Dm7]settling down
Let's hit 'em [A]all [Em]from town to [C7]town
Kansas, down to [C7]Georgia, up to [C7]Maine
I'll fill the tank with this guitar
You'll be [Am]my [A]shotgun in the car
We'll count the constellations after dark
And we'll drive through Colorado with the mountains up above
Down the coast of California, watch the sun set on [C7]us
Learn that there is more to [C7]life than "going by the book"
We'll write it our own way, on [C7]our way across the states
Let's write it our own way, on [C7]our way across the states
Well I know that there's a lot to [C7]leave behind
But these memories we'll make will last a lifetime
So let's drive through Colorado with the mountains up above
Down the coast of California, watch the sun set on [C7]us
Learn that there is more to [C7]life than "going by the book"
We'll write it our own way, on [C7]our way across the states
Let's write it our own way, on [C7]our way across the states
We'll write it our own way, on [C7]our way across the states
