lyrics

(Chorus)
We could hit the road/Just drive, if you wanna/
We could find a mountain/Just to climb if you wanna/
We could tie-dye the/Whole sky if you wanna/
We could tie-dye the/Whole sky if you wanna/

Starin' out the window/While the sun sets/
Open road ahead/We goin’ out west/
Where the light fade/Slow but it stays gold/
Paintin’ colors on the/Sky like its Day-Glo/
Somethin’ changes in you/When you see it/
The beauty of where we/Live is like a secret/
Growin’ up in the/Hood is like a cage/
Where you can't see the bars/’Til you make it out the maze/
Now I been all around the States/
Seen places I swore I would never/
The heart of America/
Rainforests and deserts/Made for some adventures/
I had a lifetime of pain/Before the pleasure/
Comes in handy when you/Out on the road/
I built a habit making/Nothing feel like a home/
I hit you askin’ if you/Wanna tag along/
Take another crack at/Livin’ like some vagabonds/

(Chorus)

Slidin’ thru the Badlands/
Screamin’ out the window/Livin’ like it was your last chance/
Hang the camera out the/Window, catch a snapshot/
Grand Tetons know/How to paint a backdrop/
I'ma get some sleep on/The way to Olympic/
Wake me when you see/The waves on the Pacific/
Whew…Death Valley/Burnin’ up the road now/
Down the strip, Vegas/Lookin’ like a ghost town/
Miseducated in Jersey/But now my mind on/
How I found the joy of/My world out in Zion/
Life on the edge/Take the plunge in it/
Pick a canyon, Grand/Bryce or the Gunnison/
We could climb the/Rockies or the Smokies/
Find ya mountain man/You gotta reach your own peak/
How you take a picture/You been starin' at your whole life/
Never recognized it 'til/I saw it with my own eyes/

(Chorus)
We could hit the road/Just drive, if you wanna/
We could find a mountain/Just to climb if you wanna/
We could tie-dye the/Whole sky if you wanna/
We could tie-dye the/Whole sky if you wanna/

(Kesey)
The trip…became more important
Than the destination
Nevermind where you're going
It doesn't make a difference
Where you're going
The whole notion of "The Trip"
To take an "acid trip"
Came out of…that summer
