about

Set that GPS to nowhere and drive...

Originally written for and recorded by Sand Dollar Rodeo, released on the Six Pack EP and GPS to Nowhere LP.

lyrics

4 o’clock in the morning, no sun up in the sky
It’s a beautiful day in its own special way as the night time says goodbye
Sun comes up, suits come out, city madness comes alive…
Set that GPS to nowhere and drive.

When I was young, I had so much fun with my Granddad passing time
Early Saturday, every holiday, to the lake, yeah, we would drive
Did the same with my Dad, to wherever time would have, God I miss those day long rides
Not sure how it happened, but the times aren’t “now” and I long for a peaceful drive.

Fill the tank with gas, they can kiss my ass, tell the world I’m not around
Set the navigation to nowhere fast and get me out of town
Crank the music up, put the pedal down, sing along to your favorite song
Set that GPS to nowhere and drive.

Free, all alone along the highway
No more wasted time, just my way
I’ve got to find a new direction, get out of that old scene
The world’s a big adventure, can’t you see?

Fill the tank with gas, they can kiss my ass, tell the world I’m not around
Set the navigation to nowhere fast and get me out of town
Crank the music up, put the pedal down, sing along to your favorite song
Set that GPS to nowhere and drive.

6 o’clock on Thursday, the evening says hello
Days been long, I did something wrong, but what I just don’t know
That weekend can’t come fast enough, feel like I can’t survive
Gonna set that GPS to nowhere and drive.

8 o’clock on Sunday, free times’ come and gone
Do I use my head and go back to bed or is it time to get the party on?

Free, all alone along the highway
No more wasted time, just my way
I’ve got to find a new direction, get out of that old scene
The world’s a big adventure, can’t you see?

Fill the tank with gas, they can kiss my ass, tell the world I’m not around
Set the navigation to nowhere fast and get me out of town
Crank the music up, put the pedal down, sing along to your favorite song
Set that GPS to nowhere and drive.

Yeah, set that GPS to nowhere and drive.
