Lyrics
This highway?s filled with cars and smoke
The vinyl?s fire in the traffic?s throat
Slaves all day behind a desk
Do not yield to hope or rest
But someone in and old Grand Prix
Yields the right hand lane to me
Mercy, mercy?s wings on me
I drive into the space that?s free
Believing there?s a chance for me
Cause there?s a gap in the cars
There?s a break on the road
There?s a gap in the cars
There?s a place for some hope
Like a fresh song on the radio ? whoa oh oh
There?s a gap in the cars
There?s a chance for me
I wish there?d been one for my daddy back in ?43
I?m gonna ride this gap back home to you and me
Some like Prozac and some like dope
But I do a line on the telephone
I take the risk, you say, for free
But your lover?s left your fantasies
