Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway Lyrics
Written by Vicki PetersonMain Voice: VICKIProduced by Continental Drifters & Mike MayeuxReleased on 'Vermilion' (1999)Also released as a single A-side with "Meet On The Ledge" (1998)It took two hours to drive out of post-quake L.A.Where the freeway is sliced up like sheet cakeGot new tires I'm not gonna worryGot three days to go so I'm not in a hurryGet into Tucson and what do I findI'm having some trouble just keeping my mindOn the 10.Driving by that detour we tookTo watch the sunset at the scenic overlookThe light was lovely but to my surpriseThe most violent colors were in your eyesAll the reds and yellows, black and blueIt's what I remember from driving with youOn the 10.On the 10.Whoa oh, white noise and lighteningOoooo on the radio, oh no.Looking up a tree like a Georgia O'KeefeAnd the Texas stars are in high reliefUniversity Road, you think I'd have learnedSo many new ways to get bitten and burnedAt the Devil's River Inn at three A.M.Hey, give me those keys I gotta getBack on the 10.On the 10.Whoa oh, white noise and lighteningOoooo on the radio, go Robert, go!Feeling unbound of heart and breastGot the visor down and I'm headed westA little wiser now, I'm unimpressedBy the secret you and I confessedOn the 10 (whoa oh).On the 10 (whoa oh)On the 10 (whoa oh)On the 10 (whoa oh).
