Her blonde hair is waving free As she glides past the coconut trees In her 1977 MGB She's heading for the end of the line Driving for a date with the sea Southernmost point of the country at the dawning of a century (a new century) It's been a long time coming And her home's a long time gone She's leaving snows of the northland Destination unknown And if that car keeps on running If that engine just a-keeps on humming She'll be there to watch that little orange sun Dip in the warm blue sea Just to get away from it all She told them all the wind was calling As she popped the clutch and drove off on a south-bound destiny The bridges take her island to island And her heart it takes her key to key And the wind in her hair is such a swell sight to see (her in her MGB) It's been a long time coming And her home's a long time gone She's leaving pieces of her past Destination unknown And if that car keeps on running If that engine just a-keeps on humming She'll be there to watch that little orange sun Bathe in the bright blue sea |
