Uh, uh
I wrote this song in my dreams
Headed north through the redwoods
The big trucks pass us
That Nord cap reflected in your tortoise shells
Tayo in the backseat snoring loud
Pretty feet up on the dash top
Asleep against this backdrop
Outside city limits
The endless pressure in the distance
No exhaust fumes and our unit
No trash cans and hashtags
The gentle sun drenches us
The fresh air expands our lungs
This is who we're meant to be
And you are who I'm meant to be with
Sharing dreams and memories
Every day we exchange gifts
Here we go riding around the bend
Riding around the bend
Here we go riding around the bend
Riding around the bend
A gentle upslope on five acres
For weekends and our vacations
Big yard with a rambling creek
This is where we'll plant our family tree
Now I know what Bob was on
That piece of land away from Babylon
Turn on the radio this evening
We'll have a Motown weekend
Watch out now, give me room (Uh-oh)
Dance the stupid barefoot in the living room
I'll try to sing some Marvin Gaye
And drink some cheap Chardonnay
This is who we're meant to be
And you are who I'm meant to be with
Sharing dreams and memories
Every day we exchange gifts
Here we go riding around the bend
Riding around the bend
Here we go riding around the bend
Riding around the bend
And when night falls, the house is quiet
Only cicadas and the crackling fire
And when the children giggle themselves to sleep
We'll lay out on the lawn eased by the crickets and the creek
Staring at the Milky Way
When we were less well-behaved
This is what our wanderlust brought to us
The obstacles we've overcome
This is what we worked so hard for
Our second act, an encore
I wanna grow old with you
Wear old people clothes with you
This is who we're meant to be
You are always who I'm meant to be with
Sharing dreams and memories
Every day we exchange gifts
Here we go riding around the bend
Riding around the bend
Here we go riding around the bend
Riding around the bend
