cruising down the highway
with the wind in my hair
cruising down the highway
going to who knows where
I've got the time
to do what I want to do
I've got the wheels
to get me to you
I've got this dream
burning deep inside
I've got to have you
my freedom bride
cruising down the highway
with the wind in my hair
cruising down the highway
going to who knows where
nothing to tie me
in any one place
no obligations
for me to face
no one holding
my personal key
nothing to restrain
my liberty
cruising down the highway
with the wind in my hair
cruising down the highway
going to who knows where
the wide yawning road
is where I belong
the pull of the tar
ever so strong
here I'll stay till
my dying day
biking on down
the emancipation highway
cruising down the highway
with the wind in my hair
cruising down the highway
going to who knows where

Re: Crusing Down The Highway
I really like the pace to this! The last stanza specifically has a nice flow to it too (not pun intended) and the repetition works really well. Nice job!

Re: Crusing Down The Highway
There is such a sense of freedom about this piece. I think because of that image -- driving with the windows down and wind in your hair. It's so freeing and relaxing. The quick rhythm of the lyrics added to the feel for me too. This is a well-constructed song. Nice job!

Re: Crusing Down The Highway
I also liked this a lot,A song writer knows how to work a song to fit his or her style.It is not like a poem rhythmically, and I felt the rush in the words..Well done..Tangie..
