[English]

Rolling, down the sunny avenues

Well... All this running around

I'm back on the road with you again baby

Free ride, I haven't got a care in the world

There's only me and you girl

Back on the road with you again baby

Sweet life, we're holding onto this life

And all because you've saved me

Zero to hero that's what you made me

Lady, you know that she excites me

But her mama never liked me

I'm back on the road with you again baby

Don't pick no hole in my soul, don't you spoil my sweet charade

I get high on the girl

For me she was clearly made

And don't get mixed up about it 'cause she won't leave me at sea

I get a groove with the girl

She got a lifeline out to me

Deadlines

We won't be needing any of those no more

It seems like the right time

To be back on the road with you again baby

I feel like, I'll never feel the cold now

I'll never be alone now

'Cause I'm back on the road with you again

Don't pick no hole in my soul, don't you spoil my sweet charade

I get high on the girl

For me she was clearly made

I don't need no destination 'cause my baby's saving me

She got the lifeline of love

She got it all thrown out to me

Don't lose me now, 'cause I need you baby

Need you baby

We gotta get up

Run away baby

We gotta get on

Run away baby

You know your mama never liked me

She said we gonna break up

Said it's gonna never work

But it's too bad baby

We're back on the road again

And now we're moving

Running to the sunset

(Back on the road again) just me and you together

(Back on the road again) I got a groove on the girl

(Back on the road again) her mama didn't like me

Don't pick no hole in my soul, don't you spoil my sweet charade

I get high on the girl yeah

For me she was clearly made

I just got my feel good factor and it's gone right through the roof

I get the blues with the news, girl let's get it on the hoof

Throw me a lifeline

Throw me a lifeline

A lifeline of love yeah

Throw me a lifeline

Throw me a lifeline

A lifeline of love yeah

Oh I need your lifeline of love

Get it out to me

Well I need her

Don't lose me now, don't lose me now

I got your lifeline all thrown out to me

Oh I've got your lifeline

Oh got your lifeline of love yeah
