"Little Highways" lyrics

Saturday, baby, a sweet afternoon
Head out the window, a ghost of the moon
Follows us closely that look in her eye
Knows we've been waiting for a change in the tide, yeah

And you say
I'd give up my weekend, I'd give it a try
It takes a new meaning as you roll on your side
A shuffle of paper, our keys on the dash
It won't be forever but we know it'll last

Somebody else might say we've gone sideways (sideways)
Sayin' we traded up freedom for chains, am I right?
But somehow these guardrails turned us around
And gave us our own little highway
To throw ourselves down

Work it out one day at a time
Is the only thing on my mind
We might not get it all right
But don't hang on too tight

One goddamned day at a time
Is the only thing on my mind
Don't hang too long a line
And don't hang on too tight

It's me and you baby, the world's out there dying
Look at it falling into the deep side
And sure we'll find ourselves slipping in time
But it's me and you baby, we'll be alright

Somebody else might say we've gone sideways (sideways)
Sayin' we traded up freedom for chains, am I right?
(Am I right)
But somehow these guardrails turned us around
And gave us our own little highway
To throw ourselves down

Work it out one day at a time
Is the only thing on my mind
We might not get it all right
But don't hang on too tight

One goddamned day at a time
Is the only thing on my mind
Don't hang too long a line
And don't hang on too tight

Take a second just to let it in
We'll never be those kids in California again
But we'll be something else
Just you and me, kid

It's me and you baby
(One day at a time)
It's me and you baby
(Is the only thing on my mind)
It's me and you baby
(One day at a time)
It's me and you baby
(Is the only thing on my mind)

It's me and you baby
(One day at a time)
It's me and you baby
(Is the only thing on my mind)
It's me and you baby
(One day at a time)
It's me and you baby
(It's me and you baby)
(It's me and you baby)
