[Instrumental intro]
I don't like it when you take the highway
You take the highway
It just goes on and on,
On and on, on and on
I said,
I don't like it when you take the highway
You take the highway
It just goes on and on,
On and on, on and on
I don't like it when you take the highway
I told you before
I prefer the scenic route
I said,
I don't like it when you take the highway
Pull over at the shoulder
Let me out
(x2)
Preferably we utilize the side streets,
That's more my speed
I've got nowhere to be
I see on the freeway
People speeding and competing
Burning rubber, burning grease
I just need a little peace
and that's why I like traveling the back roads
Where we can take it slow
Listen to the radio
and roll down the windows all the way
Summer day, sunshine
Trying to find peace of mind
and that's why
I don't like it when you take the highway
I told you before
I prefer the scenic route
I said,
I don't like it when you take the highway
Pull over at the shoulder
Let me out.
