Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yes I'm a landlubber, and I love the land So maybe our journey was longer than planned But who can put prices on what we have done The trials we have faced and the battles we've won I hands-free my sweetheart "Far off?" "No, not long!" Just enough time for the end of this song We're making good progress, there's naught left to do But sing of our victories, join in me crew! [Chorus] This is our ode to the road Our song for the street A harmony laden tribute of the pavement From all of these five seats We're driving away And come what may But soon we'll be home And no more we shall roam Until we're off again Whahey! [Verse 2] A toast to the asphalt; the most hallowed ground And all the adventures so readily found Fending off pirates from rare parking bays Eating those fries with some BBQ glaze Going our own way when told to turn round One finger waves when our brothers are found No errand too drudging or journey too small: Myself and me crew will relish them all [Chorus] This is our ode to the road Our song for the street A harmony laden tribute of the pavement From all of these five seats We're driving away And come what may But soon we'll be home And no more we shall roam Until we're off again [Verse 3] We get the call from my love "Can I get a lift to pilates?" Strap yourself in, my kids We're on again me hearties! 'Cause every trip's an adventure No matter the size or the cause So give a roaring cheer I hear the road and it calls [Chorus] This is our ode to the road Our song for the street A harmony laden tribute of the pavement From all of these five seats We're driving away And come what may But soon we'll be home And no more we shall roam Until we're off again This is our ode to the road Our song for the street A harmony laden tribute of the pavement From all of these five seats We're driving away And come what may But soon we'll be home And no more we shall roam Until we're off again
