Lyrics
I got the sun on my back, it's another unbelievable day
I got the wind in my face and everything is going OK
Got me some music and I got me a girl
Got me the feeling I'm on top of the world
Because I got me a convertible and there ain't nothing so fine
My convertible, oh yeah, my convertible, oh yeah, my convertible, oh yeah, with the top down
I got the afternoon off, you know we're gonna have some fun
We can take the next turn, it will take us out to Highway One
You cn stare out at the ocean below
I'll try to keep us all from going off the road
Because I got me a convertible and there ain't nothing so fine
Baby I can take you any old place
Just as long as I got wind in my face
I feel better when my roof is the sky
So get out of that sedan and come and take a ride in my (convertible, etc.)
