We could take the freeway
It will be quick and easy
Home free before we know it
We could take the freeway
We could take the freeway
Every exit looks the same
They all have a number instead of a name
We could take the freeway
Let the others pass us by
We’ll get where we’re going in plenty of time
Keep a hand on the wheel and one on my thigh
And take the slow road
I know a road
A slow road, a stop-and-go road
It’s a twist-to-and-fro road
I know a road
I know a road
The street lights are few and far
And some of them flicker like halogen stars
I know a road
Let the others pass us by
We’ll get where we’re going in plenty of time
Keep a hand on the wheel and one on my thigh
And take the slow road
Let the others pass us by
We’ll get where we’re going in plenty of time
Keep a hand on the wheel and one on my thigh
And take the slow road
サラのノート:
I think this is one good way to study English - read (and/or sing) the lyrics while listening to the song. I've been planning to do something like this for ages - I just need to find the right song and the right footage to go with it.
I came across Steven Dunston's music a while back. Remember show 706? I introduced the song "California".
The other day while looking for something on my HD I found that I haven't deleted most of the video footage from the "Road To Hokkaido" series. I thought this song would go perfectly with that footage. The message in the song is exactly the philosophy we had - we could have driven to Hokkaido on the "freeway" but we decided to take the "slow road" instead so we could look at things along the way.
I think this is a really nice song.
