I heard the cry out as the car came to a STOP!
mix of panic, then relief on the edge of the Grand Canyon
Ten seconds later still sitting frozen we burst out into [bad word] killer laughter - i couldn't catch my breath forever!
 [bad word] 
And then it hit me! "Hey can you play that tape back?!?!"
I.. I.. I..can't believe that it was rollin'!!
Listen to the sounds of [bad word]  then wicked yelling out
Screeching wheels, silence, howls...

That three week road trip was a road trip and a half - MAYBE MORE!
Captured on one roll of film, out of focus pictures bore, 
Every national monument - every tourist trap
Across the 48 states that fell within our path
 [bad word] 
And then it hit me! "Hey can you play that tape back?!?!"
I.. I.. I..can't believe that it was rollin'!!
Listen to the sounds of [bad word]  laughing old man please shut up,
I've heard way more than enough!

By my count it all ended - 17 CASSETTE TAPES LATER!
Stupid, brain dead observations - yes we were much too clever
To know that we were having the time of our lives
Now years later listening to those cassettes drives me to cry...
 [bad word] 
And then it hit me! "Hey can you play that tape back?!?!"
I.. I.. I..can't believe that it was rollin'!!
Listen to the sounds of [bad word] Recording our lives ourselves, i'm glad i have them now...
