Hey baby

Do you want to take a trip with me?

A silver lining all around

Hey baby
A                   E
We could drive the whole night through
 A                 E
See what this old truck can do

I’ve only driven it in town

Hey baby
A                     E
Do you want to go to Mexico?
 A            E
Take ten west to the coast

One up to the bay
     E
You know what's crazy?
 A              E
Never seen the mountain range
      A               E
In a hundred miles a lot can change

If clouds aren't in the way
