I'm a singer I sing songs Piled into our big black van And the we drove it all across this land Playing music that was big and loud The open road is what it's all about Walking the streets of Athens, Georgia I pa**ed a phone and thought I'd call you I miss you baby, really miss you a lot Your hugs and kisses get me hot, hot, hot Cheap thrills but not cheap girls We're just swine before the pearls I'm getting homesick and I just found out The open road is what it's all about We piled into our big black van We played our music it was big and loud That we had driven all across this land The open road is what it's all about
