(words & music by Scott Rohland and Barry Keys) Freedom is the essential ingredient to art and nothing represents freedom as specifically as a road trip with no particular destination. This song invites the listener to let go and come along. In this story, the protagonist sells his stake and hits the road, leaving it all behind.
This song is a default encore song at a lot of shows. It's got easy to learn changes and everyone who plays on it adds a new facet to the performance. The song allows space for that.
lyrics
I’m driving down the PCH
In a souped-up Cadillac
I don’t know where I’m going
But I am never coming back
I asked you if
You knew where you
Were going to
All you said was
Stick with me and, Baby
We’ll rock and roll
CHORUS
I’m rolling down the road again
But I don’t know where I’m going to
Yes I said that I am
Rolling down the road again
But I don’t know where I’m going to
But I’m pulling through
Stateline after stateline
Lakes and mountains
Beaches and clouds
Interstate freedom the road is my home
Shut-down the business
Just the other day
Went into the bar
The little voice said
“green light”
Now I’m out of town
And that’s why
