Imagine driving through the city at night.

Night Drive

When I first thought of the theme "Longitude", the song that I wrote for the theme "Latitude" came to mind.  On that occasion, I wrote about my brother and what he does for a living.  For this week's submission, I started by making a list of things that take a long time to do.  I mentioned shifts at work that are longer than ten hours, movies that are longer than two hours, five-set tennis matches, Test cricket matches that go the whole five days, and road trips.  That last one took me back to when I was in the USA in 2005, and we basically drove to all the different places we visited.  I think it was about a ten-hour drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and from memory it probably took a few days to reach our destination.  It also had me thinking about music friends of mine who drive up to Central Queensland from Brisbane and back again to perform at gigs and to visit family members.  The movie "Road Trip" from the year 2000 also briefly came to mind, but my song is not about that at all..


CHORUS
We're going on a road trip
It's bound to take a while
In it for the long haul
Better do it in style

Packed the car up nicely
With things to keep us sane
Now we are ready to go
All on our merry way


VERSE 1
How far is it up the coast
Ten hours, you say?
I need to get used to this
And keep entertained

Seeing sights out the windows
On a hot sunny day
I took a photo of a truck
Going the other way


PRE-CHORUS
We stop at a hotel
Where we call it a night
Tomorrow we go again
Until the end is in sight


CHORUS
We're going on a road trip
It's bound to take a while
In it for the long haul
Better do it in style

Packed the car up nicely
With things to keep us sane
Now we are ready to go
All on our merry way


VERSE 2
We need to drive up north
To fly is not a choice
My drums are in the boot
You need to bring your voice

We'll be there for a week
To see our families
Then we'll return again
In time for our next gig


PRE-CHORUS
It can be exhausting
To go there and come back
We find it is worth it
That's our plan of attack


CHORUS
We're going on a road trip
It's bound to take a while
In it for the long haul
Better do it in style

Packed the car up nicely
With things to keep us sane
Now we are ready to go
All on our merry way
