lyrics

Behind the wheel and she’s all alone
the road stretching on and on
a million miles in a beat up car
still wouldn’t take her out too far

Her friends all think she’s crazy
they say don’t run away from the things you love
but she’s too busy dreaming
trying to count the stars in the sky above

She’s ready, and she don’t care
she just left them all standin’ there
she can’t wait to see what she will see
she’s headed for escape velocity
she’ll make escape velocity

There’s something about driving an old car
that feels like a friendly handshake with the road
if she keeps it in high gear
with the wind in her face she can never grow old

Time has a way to let her see
the fleeting glimpse of a memory
to let her know that there’s a way
for her to come back to earth someday

She’s ready, and she don’t care
she just left it all lyin’ there
trying to live her life in zero gee
she’s headed for escape velocity
she’ll make escape velocity

Spending her time counting down to one big zero

She’s ready, and she don’t care
blasting off right out of there
She’s cleared the tower, she’s picking up delta vee
she finally made escape velocity
she’s made escape velocity
