lyrics

Started out on 42nd Street
Headed for that big ol' brown Hudson
Crossed over New Jersey way
Bounded southwestward to Princeton
Made it down to Philadelphia
Then west across to Ohio
Took Route 30 through Illinois
Wended our way to Iowa

We're travelin' up and down and all around
Through a big and small and midsize town
On that transcontinental highway
Well you and me and the kid makes three
We're hap-hap-happy as can be
On that transcontinental highway

Moved on to Columbus, NE
Gassed up that good ol' T-Bone Truck Stop
Picked up a K.D. Lang CD
With some sliders, some French fries and a soda pop
Sped along through Granger, Wyoming
Got a ticket from Erik Estrada
He winked and sent us on our merry way
As we went up to Sierra Nevada

Look at all them crazy license plates
From every state in our big ol' crazy nation
It's all one giant shopping mall
Thank God for civilization

Climbed our way up a steep incline
Thought we'd almost run out of gas
Scooted along old U.S. Route 4-0
'Cross that fabled Donner Pass
Stopped to get a big bag of pork rinds
Then onward we flew through Sacramento
Picked up a hippie in Berkeley
Reached our end in San Francisco
