Rockin' Down The Highway
Highway Freedom: A Musical Journey with The Doobie Brothers
Lyrics
Got those highway blues, can't you hear my motor runnin'
Feeling the blues associated with being on the highway, expressing the sound of the motor running.
Flyin' down the road with my foot on the floor
Driving at high speed with the accelerator fully pressed to the floor.
All the way in town they can hear me comin'
Noticed and heard by people in town as the speaker approaches.
Ford's about to drop, she won't do no more
The Ford vehicle is reaching its limit and is about to break down.
And i smell my motor burnin'
Sensing that the motor is overheating or experiencing mechanical issues.
Underneath the hood is smoke
Smoke emerging from under the hood, indicating engine trouble.
Can't stop, and i can't stop
Unable to stop the vehicle due to the urgency of the situation.
Got to keep on movin' or i'll lose my mind
Feeling compelled to keep moving to maintain sanity.
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Repetition emphasizes the excitement and intensity of rocking down the highway.
Oh, rockin' down the highway
-Oh, rockin' down the highway
-Oh, rockin' down the highway
-The highway patrol got his eyes on me
The highway patrol is monitoring the speaker's speed and actions.
I know what he's thinkin' and it ain't good
Aware that the patrol officer has negative expectations or judgments.
I'm movin' so fast he can barely see me
Moving so fast that the patrol officer can barely track the speaker.
Gonna lose that man, i know i should
Acknowledging the need to escape the patrol officer for potential consequences.
I gotta kick in my pedal
Intending to accelerate by pressing the pedal firmly.
Make my ford move a little bit faster
Attempting to make the Ford move faster for a getaway.
Can't stop, and i can't stop
Reiterating the inability to stop due to the urgency of the situation.
Got to keep on movin' or i'll lose my mind
Reemphasizing the necessity to keep moving to maintain mental stability.
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Repetition reinforces the theme of rocking down the highway with intensity.
Oh, rockin' down the highway
-Oh, rockin' down the highway
-Oh, rockin' down the highway
