Lyrics:
DARLING, I KNOW THE WAY
--------------------------------------------------------------

Excuse me, miss...
You know how to drive that thing?
...
Darling.
I bought it.

Red stripes, white shoes,
Sunday afternoon,
Got a little sunshine
And a radio tune.
Stopped for gasoline
Just outside of town,
Some gentleman decided
I should settle down.
Said, "That's a lot of motor
For a girl like you."
I said, "That's a lot of talking
For a man I never knew."
He checked my tires,
Tried to check my plans.
I took my keys
Right out of his hands.

He said, "The road gets tricky
When you're on your own."
I said, "Funny...
That's the only way
I've ever known."

Darling, I know the way,
Don't need a map to tell me where to stay.
Got my own four wheels,
Got my own two feet,
And a little bit of trouble
In the driver's seat.
Darling, don't you worry 'bout me,
I'm exactly where I wanna be.
You can keep your good advice,
I'll keep my getaway.
And darling...
I know the way.

Daddy said,
"Find yourself a steady man."
Mama said,
"Make yourself a better plan."
My sister married
Somebody with a name.
My brother bought a house
And called it winning the game.
I bought a car.
A rather lovely one.
And drove it
Straight into the sun.
They said, "You'll settle down
When you find someone."
I said, "Maybe...
But I'm having too much fun."

They keep asking
Where I'm going.
Like there's something
I should prove.
But honey,
I've got better things to do
Than explain
Why I move.

Darling, I know the way,
Don't need a map to tell me where to stay.
Got my own four wheels,
Got my own two feet,
And a little bit of trouble
In the driver's seat.
Darling, don't you worry 'bout me,
I'm exactly where I wanna be.
You can keep your good advice,
I'll keep my getaway.
And darling...
I know the way.

Now somewhere
Past the county line,
My lovely little engine
Made a sound I didn't like.
Pulled over,
Lifted up the hood.
Looked at the situation.
Didn't look good.
A gentleman stopped,
Said, "Need a hand?"
I said, "Depends...
Do you understand
A carburetor?"
He said, "Well... no."
I said, "Then darling,
Enjoy the show."

Turns out...
Loose wire.
[Bass slides back in]
There we go.

And sometimes
I take the wrong road.
Sometimes
I don't know where I am.
Sometimes
I change my mind
And turn around
Just because I can.
I don't need
To win every argument.
Don't need
To be right every day.
I just want
The freedom to be wrong
And find
My own way.

Darling, I know the way,
Even when I take the long way round.
Got my own four wheels,
Got my own two feet,
And a whole wide world
I haven't found.
Darling, don't you worry 'bout me,
I'm exactly where I wanna be.
You can keep your good advice,
I'll keep my getaway.
And darling...
I know the way.

Oh, and sweetheart?
...
That left turn
You told me to take?
...
Wrong road.

But the view was lovely.
