Windows Down
Embrace the Open Road: Noelle McFarland's Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
They keep telling me to live a little
Feeling pressure to experience life more
That I'm young and wild, I should give in a little
Societal expectation to embrace youth and wildness
That I've earned my right to misbehave a little
Being told it's okay to indulge and misbehave
But I'm doing just fine
Rejecting external pressure, content with current state
Don't have anything that needs a hiding place
Having no secrets or hidden problems
My CDs take up all the extra space
Music takes priority in life
My only drug is turning up the bass
Music, particularly bass, is the only 'drug'
And then I just drive
Finding solace in driving
Yeah, I got my windows down
Enjoying the freedom of driving with windows down
And my head up high
Confident and positive attitude
Driving with the music loud
Engaging in carefree, leisurely driving
On a back road with no end in sight
Driving without a specific destination
Freedom is the only sound
Feeling liberated and carefree
There's no telling when I'll turn around
Uncertain about when to change direction in life
Cause I get the highest high with my windows down
Experiencing joy and elation with windows down
Everyone's caught up in time and money
Observing society's focus on time and money
We work our lives away for milk and honey
Working hard for material success
For once I'd rather keep the engine running
Desiring to keep the freedom of not working
With no purpose in mind
Living without a specific purpose
And not having a plan has never really been my style
Not inclined to plan, preferring spontaneity
But I know this song should last a couple miles
Valuing the duration of the song over plans
And knowing everything else can wait a little while
Recognizing that other responsibilities can wait
Cause I got my windows down
Reiterating the joy of driving with windows down
And my head up high
Reaffirming confidence and positivity
Driving with the music loud
Continuing the enjoyable loud music and driving
On a back road with no end in sight
Emphasizing the aimless, open-ended drive
Freedom is the only sound
Reiterating the freedom and liberation felt
There's no telling when I'll turn around
Remaining uncertain about changing direction
Cause I get the highest high with my windows down
Expressing the euphoria of windows down experience
These white lines never made me feel so free
Finding a sense of freedom in the open road
With these songs playing, I got all the fix I need
Music providing satisfaction and fulfillment
Yeah, I got my windows down
Reaffirming the joy of driving with windows down
And my head up high
Maintaining a positive and confident mindset
Driving with the music loud
Continuing the carefree drive with loud music
On a back road with no end in sight
Emphasizing the aimless, open-ended drive
Freedom is the only sound
Reiterating the freedom and liberation felt
There's no telling when I'll turn around
Remaining uncertain about changing direction
Cause I get the highest high with my windows down
Expressing the euphoria of windows down experience
