[Verse 1] Boxed up the china, sold the TV screen Traded the mortgage for a tank of gasoline They said we're crazy, said we'd lost our minds But there's a whole lot of living we were leaving behind I looked at my girls, saw the fire in their eyes Said goodbye to the city and the gray, smoggy skies [Chorus] We're trading the driveway for the open road Got a second-hand caravan to lighten the load From the top of Cape Reinga to the Milford Sound We're spinning these tires on the sacred ground Yeah, we sold it all just to feel alive Me and my girls on the great New Zealand drive [Verse 2] Waking up to the ocean on a Tuesday morn No alarm clocks ringing, no schedules to mourn Got a map on the dashboard, but we're losing our way Finding hidden beaches where the dolphins play Cooking beans on a camp stove under southern stars Who needs a mansion when the whole world is ours? [Chorus] We're trading the driveway for the open road Got a second-hand caravan to lighten the load From the top of Cape Reinga to the Milford Sound We're spinning these tires on the sacred ground Yeah, we sold it all just to feel alive Me and my girls on the great New Zealand drive [Bridge] Sometimes the roof leaks when the rain comes down Sometimes we're miles away from any little town But we're learning how to fix it, learning how to steer Ain't nothing in the rearview mirror left to fear! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] We're trading the driveway for the open road Got a second-hand caravan to lighten the load From the top of Cape Reinga to the Milford Sound We're spinning these tires on the sacred ground Yeah, we sold it all just to feel alive Me and my girls on the great New Zealand drive [Outro] Yeah, the great New Zealand drive Just me and my girls, feeling alive Roll the windows down, leave this town
