V4.5

[Verse 1] The rental car smelled like leather and rain, A map in my hand, I felt half-insane. The Autobahn stretched, a ribbon so wide, Few speed limit signs, just a wild, thrilling ride. [Chorus] Oh, the Autobahn’s a beast, a freedom untamed, No potholes to dodge, no lanes left unnamed. Back home on the interstate, I’d keep it in line, But here I’m flying, the road’s truly mine. [Verse 2] I passed by the signs, “Ausfahrt” they read, No billboards or clutter, just the open ahead. The cars in the left lane, like rockets they flew, And I stayed to the right, till I gained courage too. [Chorus] Oh, the Autobahn’s a beast, a freedom untamed, No potholes to dodge, no lanes left unnamed. Back home on the interstate, I’d keep it in line, But here I’m flying, the road’s truly mine. [Bridge] I thought of home, where the speed’s kept tight, With rest stops and diners every few miles in sight. Here it’s precision, the rules are so clear, Yet there’s a rush in my chest I can’t help but cheer. [Verse 3] The trees flew by, a blur on each side, The BMWs and Audis, they danced, they’d glide. No roadwork delays, no endless red cones, Just smooth open stretches, a driver’s dream zone. [Chorus] Oh, the Autobahn’s a beast, a freedom untamed, No potholes to dodge, no lanes left unnamed. Back home on the interstate, I’d keep it in line, But here I’m flying, the road’s truly mine. I am flying, the road’s truly mine.
