Somewhere To Go

[craig0812]

Hi I wrote this song after travelling on American highways. It was originally called American roads but then evolved to Somewhere To Go. I wrote it for Kenny Chesney. Hope you like it.

Everybody here's got to be on time
Without losing their mind hitting every stop sign
If they're gonna be late they got to kiss their bosses ass all day
Come rain or shine they show up at nine
Jobs on the line if they fall behind
If they make the boss wait they better pray the bills still get paid
That's all I got to say

When you're from this part of the earth
You kick a lot of ass like you're in a rock show
Everybody here loves coming in first
Going to work or heading back home
So when you got to get your ass to work
Don't be a slow poke on the road
From the big city to the backroad dirt
Everybody here's got somewhere to go
Everybody here's got somewhere to go

They drive around the malls looking for a spot
park whatever they got then the doors get locked
even when their on a break their still humming what their radios played
And when they come back with the stuff they bought
They leave the parking lot when the engines hot
You don't need a V8 To get around in the USA...just get out of the way

When you're from this part of the earth
You kick a lot of ass like you're in a rock show
Everybody here loves coming in first
Going to work or heading back home
So when you got to get your ass to work
Don't be a slow poke on the road
From the big city to the backroad dirt
Everybody here's got somewhere to go
Everybody here's got somewhere to go

When an engine starts with American parts
There's a big smile on their face
When they drive their cars with American Heart
We all know their from the states
It's gonna be hard but they're gonna go far
Up there in outer space
They got to go to mars, they got to reach the stars
They got to do it to win first place
They got to do it for the human race

When you're from this part of the earth
You kick a lot of ass like you're in a rock show
Everybody here loves coming in first
Going to work or heading back home
So when you got to get your ass to work
Don't be a slow poke on the road
From the big city to the backroad dirt
Everybody here's got...

When you're from this part of the earth
You kick a lot of ass like you're in a rock show
Everybody here loves coming in first
Going to work or heading back home
So when you got to get your ass to work
Don't be a slow poke on the road
From the big city to the backroad dirt
Everybody here's got somewhere to go

Excellent work.
