Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway Lyrics - Singles - Continental Drifters

Written by vicki peterson 

Main voice: vicki 

Produced by continental drifters & mike mayeux 

Released 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 cake 

Got new tires I'm not gonna worry 

Got three days to go so I'm not in a hurry 

Get into tucson and what do I find 

I'm having some trouble just keeping my mind 

On the 10. 

Driving by that detour we took 

To watch the sunset at the scenic overlook 

The light was lovely but to my surprise 

The most violent colors were in your eyes 

All the reds and yellows, black and blue 

It's what I remember from driving with you 

On the 10. 

On the 10. 

Whoa oh, white noise and lightening 

Ooooo on the radio, oh no. 

Looking up a tree like a georgia o'keefe 

And the texas stars are in high relief 

University road, you think I'd have learned 

So many new ways to get bitten and burned 

At the devil's river inn at three a.m. 

Hey, give me those keys I gotta get 

Back on the 10. 

On the 10. 

Whoa oh, white noise and lightening 

Ooooo on the radio, go robert, go! 

Feeling unbound of heart and breast 

Got the visor down and I'm headed west 

A little wiser now, I'm unimpressed 

By the secret you and I confessed 

On the 10 (whoa oh). 

On the 10 (whoa oh) 

On the 10 (whoa oh) 

On the 10 (whoa oh).
