i don't wanna spend my time   thinking of a life that could be mine   get in the car and set me free   and do something that's good for me   i got my foot down   thoughts round   a good tune kicking out a good sound   and it makes me wonder what it's gonna be   when this place is a memory      i'm just cruising away   got my ton of thoughts and i'll use them today   with my strengths and troubles i can keep them at bay   cos i am just cruising away      the road here is my leading ground   to where a better place be found   on my way to somewhere good   it makes me feel just like i should   i mean, lie down, right hand (?)   troubles get up just where over town (?)   and i aint gonna be that fool   controlled by other people's rules      i'm just cruising away   got my ton of thoughts and i'll use them today   with my strengths and troubles i can keep them at bay   cos i am just cruising away      i just wanna be myself   for my wealth   i don't wanna lose my health   cos i'm stressin'   why should i waste my time?   just like looking out for me was a crime   what people don't realise about me is   i don't give a damn about the politics   sitting round talking with my friends are making fuss together they must learn i'm not about to turn to listening (?)   i'm just gonna get in my car   cruise to my blues   have gone afar   live my life like i was a star   leave my small time troubles in a small time bar   those who impose on you how to feel   don't really matter cos they just aint real   we're not far away, and i've cut my deal   i'll be happy, like when i'm behind the wheel      i'm just cruising away   got my ton of thoughts and i'll use them today   with my strengths and troubles i can keep them at bay   cos i am just cruising away x4
