Rolling
Down the sunny avenues
Well, all this running around
I'm back on the road with you again baby

Free ride
I haven't got a care in the world
There's only me and you girl
Back on the road with you again baby

Sweet life we're holding onto this life
And all because you've saved me
Zero to hero that's what you made me

Lady, you know that she excites me
But her mama never liked me
I'm back on the road with you again baby

Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made

And don't get mixed up about it
'Cause she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me

Deadlines
We won't be needing any of those no more
It seems like the right time
To be back on the road with you again baby

I feel like
I'll never feel the cold now
I'll never be alone now
'Cause I'm back on the road with you again

Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made

I don't need no destination
'Cause my baby's saving me
She got the lifeline of love
She got it all thrown out to me

Don't lose me now
'Cause I need you baby, need you baby

We gotta get up
Run away baby
We gotta get on
Run away baby
You know your mama never liked me
She said we gonna break up
Said it's gonna never work
But it's too bad baby
We're back on the road again
And now we're moving
Running to the sunset
(back on the road again)
Just me and you together
(back on the road again)
I got a groove on the girl
(back on the road again)
Her mama didn't like me

Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl yeh
For me she was clearly made

And don't get mixed up about it
'Cause she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me

Just got my feel good factor
And it's gone right through the roof
I get the blues with the news
Girl let's get it on the hoof

Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh

Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh

Oh I need your lifeline of love
Get it out to me
Well I need her
Don't lose me now
Don't lose me now
I got your lifeline all thrown out to me
Oh I've got your lifeline
Got your lifeline of love yeh
