lyrics

We had about two weeks
To get as far as we could from the east
I was looking to find of a different kind of state of mind

You had a car and a tank of gas
The west had not a day of my past
Let’s try and see if maybe we could make it to the sea

CHORUS
We were racing the sun
But day after day the sun always won
Even if we kept on driving long after the day was done
We were racing, we were racing the sun

We slept in parking lots
Drove a little fast but we never got caught
This bucket of rust we had to trust would keep us off the bus

Saw a sign and it read
Two hundred more miles, San Francisco straight ahead
By the end of the day we made our way over to the bay

CHORUS

We had about two weeks
To get as far as we could from the east
I was looking to find just a little different kind of state of mind

Car broke down on Route 101
I thought you would be panicking but you were having fun
If we’d had our way on the day we probably would have stayed

CHORUS
