Lyrics

I got one hand on the shifter, the other one on the wheel
I got my mind on Monica, it's freedom I can feel
I'm gonna hit the state line by midnight, and leave this town behind

No work or opportunity, this town's too small for me
Like a nomad on 66, the road keeps calling me
I've got my eyes wide open, I'm leaving this town behind

The highway it don't lie, it just takes me for a ride
When I see the lights of L.A., the sunset in my eyes
Then I'll know, I made it to the other side

I've got one hand on the shifter, the other one on the wheel
Now I'm here in Santa Monica, its freedom I can feel
My eyes are on the ocean, that town has left my mind

I've got my eyes wide open, Monica on my mind
I'll keep my eyes wide open, you never know what I'll find
Yeah, eyes wide open
