E
Rollin' down highway 95
Sailin' through her hometown countryside
Move on over stand aside
A G
My cruise control's in overdrive
E B7 E-E
Need to take my baby for a ride

Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway

Ooo she's like a cool Summer breeze
E A
If my motor's runnin' right,

We might lose control tonight

Got the shape I love to squeeze,
B E A D
Looks that bring me to my knees
B E
Oh please, let it roll tonight
(E Dbm) keyboard/guitar jam
Might be doin' more than fifty-five
When I sit my baby right down by my side
Where the rubber hit the road
This rig don't dig no overload
Come on, and let my baby ride
Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway
Ooo she's like a cool Summer breeze
If my motor's runnin' right, we might lose control tonight
Got the shape I love to squeeze, looks that bring me to my knees
Oh please, let it roll tonight
Now I know just how heaven feels
When she reach beneath my big old steerin' wheel
Dyna flow, power glide
Bored and stroked, I'm satisfied
When I take my baby for a ride
Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway
Ooo she's like a cool Summer breeze
If my motor's runnin' right,
We might lose control tonight
Got the shape I love to squeeze,
Looks that bring me to my knees
Oh please, let it roll tonight
