though it's turned over to Thursday here in Oz,
I wrote and recorded this one yesterday and Kev
added some cool parts to it.
an original song for Wednesday.
THE ROAD THAT LED TO ROME
We walked down to the showroom that Wednesday in July
Shining supermodels, lipstick flashing by
Plastic painted chrome they turned like planets in the sky
Grab the keys, foot to the floor and drive
And Wednesday came and went like every Wednesday had before
We had no need for words back then; you and I so sure
Rooftop down we gave ourselves that that stretch of 44
120 on the straight road foot to the floor
We were Bogey and Bacall, Antony and Cleopatra
On the road that led to Rome, kid here's lookin atcha
That Wednesday in July we had no other mantra
But an open road, foot to the floor and drive
The keys they shone like gold reflected in your eyes
Open road, foot to the floor and drive
Freedom's debt to pay was us on that highway
And Wednesday came like any other day
We were only driving home on a road that led to Rome
And Wednesday passed like any other day
