(Main Riff)
every time i see the red light burning
don't it always make the air turn blue
but until we see the red light turning
there ain't nothing anyone can do
we all dream about an open highway
making dreams is all that we can do
we'd be moving on if i had my way
nothing can stop me getting back to you
wanna drive yeh drive
i wanna drive but i can't get no-where
heavy traffic all over this town
i wanna drive yeh drive
i wanna drive i gotta get somewhere
heavy traffic coming into this town
