An oldie from my high school days. I loved, loved, loved Eve 6 songs. And every time I hear one on the radio (satellite radio is awesome!) or my big iTunes shuffle, I have to sing along. It's a necessity. This song reminds me of summer every time I hear it. I want to jump in my "pile" and head off with no direction or purpose. I want to feel the wind in my hair. I want to sing along at the top of my lungs. Summer's ending. I have to get in a few more open window drives before the cold becomes too much. And I really think that my pile starts to shake at 80!
Lyrics (my favorite lines in bold):
Tonight, I feel ambitious and so does my foot As it sicks on the pedal, I press it to the floor I don't need a girl, don't need a friend 'cause My friend 'Lonesome's' unconditional, we're flying forever bored
For a moment I love everything that I see and think and feel I love my broken side view mirror 'Cause it's so perfect, I'm so perfect, you're so perfect, you're not here I hear the change in gears
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road This is an open road song
The night is beckoning Although I have nowhere to go but home, feels good to be alone With every turn comes a new frame of mind If I could frame my mind, where would it hang?
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road This is an open road song
I crack a window and feel the cool air cleanse my every poreAs I pour my poor heart out to a radio songThat's patient and willing to listenMy volume drowns it out
Ya, but that's okay 'cause I sound better than him anyway, any day Ya, my voice is sweet as salt I search for comfort and I find it where I found it many times before Times before it could be forgotten, yeah
My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road My pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road This is an open road song
