lyrics

48 states of blacktop asphalt
Everybody says it’s always my fault
48 states of winding road
Gotta keep going gotta carry my load

200 bridges over dry bed rivers
The temperature drops and I get the shivers
2,000 signs of every kind
Gotta keep going or I’ll lose my mind

Put the pedal to the medal put your foot on the gas
One by one every car gets passed
Top off the tank put it in gear
Gotta keep going ‘til I’m out of here

48 states of trash on the highway
Dots the road like stars in the Milky Way
48 Stuckey’s selling peanut brittle
I might stop in if I was little

200 sirens all shine red
Nothing but trouble on the road ahead
2,000 miles of sun scorched pavement
Stare into the sunset looking with amazement

Put the pedal to the medal put your foot on the gas
One by one every car gets passed
Top off the tank put it in gear
Gotta keep going ‘til I’m out of here
