about

words and music by Jonathan Rundman and Beki Hemingway

lyrics

i could take the two lane road
to avoid the stop and go
get away from what I know and drive

i could lose the GPS
leave behind the freeway mess
put my compass to the test
and glide past the northbound traffic

and it’s all that stands between us
this one here and that one there
i won’t let the miles defeat us
i’ve got time to spare

i could roll the windows down
find another way through town
bypass all the runaround
and fly past the northbound traffic

if i take the scenic route
would it help me figure out
what this love is all about
despite the northbound traffic

weary of negotiation
steer away from where i’ve been
headed for a destination
where we both can win

doesn’t have to be a standstill
endless taillights losing ground
honey, you’re the reason
i will find a way around
the northbound traffic
