We didn't go home just like we always did
We had another place to go
Drove so far in the back of the car
To the other side of the world
Even the bad songs on the radio
Got something magical this week
Seems so far from where we now are
On the other side of the world
Over hills like mountains we'd drive
About to have the time of our lives
Such an adventure, it felt so free
It was as good as it could be
The distance that we drove seemed further then
But time was still a friend of ours
Seems so far from where we now are
On the other side of the world
Over hills like mountains we'd drive
We sure had the time of our lives
Such an adventure and it felt so free
It was as good as it could be
Today I got home from that place again
It looked the same but much was gone
It wasn't that far, as I drove my car
From the other side of the world
The hills seemed shallow as I would drive
Heading back to the same old life
There was a place where I used to be free
Drive away from history
