Something special happened today
I got green lights all the way
With no big red sign to stop me
No traffic jam delay

See I was driving over the moon
In my big hot air balloon
Floating high into the darkness
I hope I get there soon

It's so many things to do
So many people I need to talk to
And they've all been waiting for me
Well I gotta make it through

Something special happened today
I got green lights all the way
With no big red sign to stop me
No traffic jam delay

Thank my stars for every green
You have no idea what it means
To a man who's always traveling
Who's seen the things that I've seen

I don't know what's yet to come
Not sure if anything I've done
Really makes that much a difference
Well I hope it has for some

Something special happened today
I got green lights all the way
With no big red sign to stop me
No traffic jam delay

Well I was driving over the moon
In my big hot air balloon
Floating high into the darkness
I promise that I'll make it to you very soon
