Cruisin' in my '55

[Verse 1] You toss your coat across the seat The county line is in our reach A ’55 Chevy, cherry-red hood That old V-eight sounds like it should Your window’s down, your grin says go Past Miller’s barn and the radio [Chorus] Cruisin’ in that ’55 Rolling easy, feeling alive I keep time with my tapping shoes Feelin' carefree and nothin' to lose No clock to chase, no place to be Just me and the road, and the whole wide country [Verse 2] We stop for coffee at the Diner spot My girl smiles and she shore is hot I grab the check and pay the toll And I say come on baby let's roll The sun hangs low on the water tower We’ve got all road and another hour [Chorus] Cruisin’ in that ’55 Rolling easy, feeling alive I keep time with my tapping shoes Feelin' carefree and nothin' to lose No clock to chase, no place to be Just you, that road, and the whole wide country [Bridge] Past the river bend, past the county fair Your laugh rides out through the warm night air You say, “Don’t slow down—not yet, not now” I tip my hat and I show you how [Final Chorus] Cruisin’ in that ’55 Rolling easy, feeling alive I keep time with my tapping shoes Feelin' carefree and nothin' to lose No clock to chase, no place to be Just you, that road, and the whole wide country [Outro] That old Chevy hums us home But we take the long way, rolling on
