“One More Trip Around the Sun”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Pack up the car, it’s time to hit the road,
[D]Chasing the sunset, where the wild winds blow.
[Em]One more trip around the sun,
[C]Still figuring out who we’ve become.
(Chorus)
[G]Driving through the night,
[D]Underneath the starlight,
[Em]In this world we’re just passing through,
[C]On one more trip around the sun with you.
(Verse 2)
[G]We’ve seen the mountains, crossed the desert plain,
[D]Felt the joy and shared the pain.
[Em]One more trip around the sun,
[C]These memories we’ve spun.
(Chorus)
[G]Driving through the night,
[D]Underneath the starlight,
[Em]In this world we’re just passing through,
[C]On one more trip around the sun with you.
(Outro)
[G]As the miles roll on, our love stays strong,
[D]Singing our endless road trip song.
[Em]One more trip around the sun,
[C]Oh, the journey’s only just begun.
