STYLE: Pop
INSTRUMENTATION/PERSONNEL: Rafe Lyford - Sampled Piano Rafe Lyford - Vocals
Verse 1
The roads we drive on
Can be dangerous sometimes.
We need a vehicle
To give us piece of mind.
It's got to be big enough
To hold all of our stuff.
The biggest of the big:
It ain't big enough.
Pre-chorus 1
Driving through suburban streets
In my all-terrain machine.
Soccer games and grocery stores
And places in-between.
Once a month: a super-wash
To keep it nice and clean.
Wo-oh-oh Wo-oh
Wo-oh-oh-oh!
Chorus
Driving along in my S.U.V.
There's no place that I'd rather be.
Up above the road so high.
I can almost touch the sky.
Ain't no storm that I can't drive through.
Get out of my way or I'll drive over you.
Spend all of my money
Just so I can be free in my
S-U-V.
S-U-V.
Verse 2
Extreme living
Is what it's all about.
It keeps us happy
And it brings us clout.
It empties our wallets
And fills up our tanks.
And every week
It nearly breaks the bank.
Pre-chorus 2
I only use the four-wheel drive
About two times a year.
The button’s right there on the dash
It helps to soothe my fears.
Traversing crowded parking lots
It’s nice to have it near.
Wo-oh-oh Wo-oh
Wo-oh-oh-oh!
Chorus
Driving along in my S.U.V.
There's no place that I'd rather be.
Up above the road so high.
I can almost touch the sky.
Ain't no storm that I can't drive through.
Get out of my way or I'll drive over you.
Spend all of my money
Just so I can be free in my
S-U-V.
S-U-V.
Refrain
Behind the wheel
The world's at your command.
Try it sometime
And you'll maybe understand.
Road conditions
Are a thing of the past.
Just take a route
And, baby, step on the gas.
S-U-V
S-U-V
I'm gonna drive you
'Til I'm ninety-three.
S-U-V
S-U-V
Ah-Ah, Ah-Ah-Ah.
S-U-V
S-U-V
You will always be
Such a part of me.
S-U-V
S-U-V
You make me feel
Like I'm King of the Road.
Verse 3
To know no boundaries
A thought that brings us smiles.
Uncharted paths
That go on for miles.
We keep on driving
For the possibility
To use the "sport"
Not just "utility".
Pre-chorus 3
We looked at all the mini-vans
But we felt the image was wrong
We borrowed money from our house
And bought it for a song
We can't park it in our garage
Because it's way to long
Wo-oh-oh Wo-oh
Wo-oh-oh-oh!
Chorus
Driving along in my S.U.V.
There's no place that I'd rather be.
Up above the road so high.
I can almost touch the sky.
Ain't no storm that I can't drive through.
Get out of my way or I'll drive over you.
Spend all of my money
Just so I can be free in my
S-U-V.
S-U-V.
