Lyrics: Santa Monica to Brooklyn

[Intro] hhh [Inst] [Solo] hhhhh [Inst] [Pre Verse] Hey—Santa Monica to Brooklyn! [Inst] [Verse 1] Suitcase by the doorway, sunrise on the blinds Got a whole wide country runnin’ through my mind Keys on the table, heart on a string One more deep breath—hear the freedom ring [Verse 2] Maps and little secrets folded in my coat Salt air on the boulevard, throat full of hope You look at me smiling like you already know This is the moment we’ve been waiting for [Pre-Chorus] No more “someday,” no more “soon” The engine’s whispering our name If we’re gonna chase that tune Now’s the time to light the flame [Chorus] From Santa Monica to Brooklyn, we’re gonna see it all Through desert gold and midnight towns, we’ll answer every call Oldies on the radio, love in the rearview light We ain’t crossed a single mile, but baby it feels right [Bridge] If the world gets heavy, we’ll laugh it off somehow One hand on the handle, one hand holding now Every road is waiting, every sky is wide Say the word, my darling—say it and we’ll fly [Final Chorus] From Santa Monica to Brooklyn, let the highways sing We’ll trade the past for open days and everything between Oldies on the radio, hearts set to ignite— We’re ready, we’re steady… [Outro] Let’s ride! [Post Outro] [Inst]
