My cousin's getting married at the Methodist church

That's why I stayed home from work

I'm supposed to hold the flowers when the new bride kisses the groom

.. that's what I supposed to do

So what are we doing with the windows rolled down,

twenty-five passionate miles from town

Oh I love her like a sister, but baby, to tell you the truth,

I'd rather ride around with you

The guy she's gonna marry's got money to burn

His daddy's a partner in some big law firm

Yeah that's how they're going to Hawaii on their honeymoon

.. first class to Honolulu

She's never even set foot on a jet

I'm a little bit jealous, I confess

I'd like to fly to Hawaii, but honey if I had to choose

Oh I'd rather ride around with you

Chorus:

I don't care where this road goes

No I don't wanna turn around

Let go of the wheel, feel the wind blow

Don't even think about slowin' down

They're tying tin cans to the back of the car

wondering where in the world we are

The preacher's done praying and the couple's done saying
