Coast to Coast

By Jim Ittenbach - 1984
 
 

Verse I:
LA's nice if you got the price of livin' in a fast, fast-lane
And New York's fine if you got the time to wind your way through the maze
Baltimore is where I call home you know the people there are playin' to win
But sometimes I just gotta roam before I head on back again

Bridge:
'Cause the sun hits me in a certain way, my soul begins to soar
My travelin, bone starts itchin' me. It say put that pedal to the floor

Chorus:
I'm on an Interstate boogie goin' coast to coast
The US of A has really got the most
I love to watch the miles and the cities fly by
Tearin' up the road with a gleam in my eye
I'm goin' coast to coast to coast, baby coast, coast, coast

Verse II:
The south has finally risen again. They got those buildings so tall and shiny
And when the Mardi Gras rolls around ya know that just might be where you'll find me
Or maybe I'll head up to the great, Great Lakes ya know they look-a like-a little oceans
From the winds of Chicago or the steel of Detroit, I'm tellin' ya, you just can't stop 'em

Bridge:
'Cause the sun hits me in a certain way, my soul begins to soar
My travelin, bone starts itchin' me. It say put that pedal to the floor

Chorus:
I'm on an Interstate boogie goin' coast to coast
The US of A has really got the most
I love to watch the miles and the cities fly by
Tearin' up the road with a gleam in my eye
I'm goin' coast to coast to coast, baby coast, coast, coast

Verse III:
From Boston to Miami to the 'Frisco Bay, ya know the whole joints a-rocking
From Phoenix to Seattle up to Portalnd Maine, I'm tellin' ya, you just can't stop 'em
And the St. Louis blues, well they sure sound sweet when you're sittin' by the Mississippi
One of these days, you're gonna see, just exactly what I mean

Bridge:
'Cause the sun'll hit you in a certain way, your soul begins to soar
Your travelin, bone starts itchin' you. It say put that pedal to the floor

Chorus:
We're on an Interstate boogie goin' coast to coast
The US of A has really got the most
Love to watch the miles and the cities fly by
Tearin' up the road with a gleem in my eye
We're goin' coast to coast to coast, baby coast, coast, coast
