Ode To The Road

(album: Land Shanties - 2021)

Yes I'm a landlubber, and I love the land
So maybe our journey was longer than planned
But who can put prices on what we have done
The trials we have faced and the battles we've won
I hands-free my sweetheart. "Far off? No, not long!"
Just enough time for the end of this song
We're making good progress, there's naught left to do
But sing of our victories, join in me crew!

This is our ode to the road
Our song for the street
A harmony laden tribute off the pavement
From all of these 5 seats
We're driving away
And come what may
But soon we'll be home, and no more we shall roam
Until we're off again
Whehey!

A toast to the asphalt, the most hallowed ground
And all the adventures so readily found
Fending off pirates from rare parking bays
Eating those fries with some bbq glaze
Going our own way when told to turn round
One finger waves when our brothers are found
No errand too drudging or journey too small
Myself and me crew will relish them all

This is our ode to the road
Our song for the street
A harmony laden tribute off the pavement
From all of these 5 seats
We're driving away
And come what may
But soon we'll be home, and no more we shall roam
Until we're off again

We get the call from my love
'Can I get a lift to pilates?'
Strap yourself in, my kids
We're on again me hearties!
Coz every trip's an adventure
No matter the size or the cause
So give a roaring cheer
I hear the road and it calls

This is our ode to the road
Our song for the street
A harmony laden tribute off the pavement
From all of these 5 seats
We're driving away
And come what may
But soon we'll be home, and no more we shall roam
Until we're off again

Our ode to the road
Our song for the street
A harmony laden tribute off the pavement
From all of these 5 seats
We're driving away
And come what may
But soon we'll be home, and no more we shall roam
Until we're off again
