Bridge

Headed to the beach—the surf and sand
Take me on down to the promised land
There is nothin’ better on a summer day
Than jammin’ to the sound of an open highway

All I want is freedom—freedom to do it my way
(Mmm … ooh)
Oh yes I’m drivin’ (I’m drivin’)
Flyin’ on a beautiful day (yeah—on a beautiful day)

Takin’ a trip—takin’ a road trip 
Yeah – hey hey--woah

Ooh feelin’ free now

Mmm … Gonna do it my way

Yeah on a summer day -- woah

Ooh -- yes I’m drivin’ – ooh …. On a beautiful day

Ooh – takin’ a road trip -- yeah gonna drive my blues away
Ooh freedom
Mmm …

Takin’ a trip—takin’ a road trip
Takin’ a trip—takin’ a road trip (ease on down—get out of 
town now)
