[Lyrics & Structure]
[Intro]
(Sharp Stratocaster cutting and aggressive slap bass)
[Verse 1]
I got in through the driver’s side door.
I told her, “Buckle up.”
She buckled up.
The engine was warmed up nicely.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I called out, “Let’s go!”
She said, “Never mind the call.”
[Chorus 1]
Whenever we go out,
We feel excited.
For some reason,
We’re thrilled.
[Verse 2]
She said, “Step on the gas.”
I hastily replied, “Okay!”
I stepped on the gas.
My station wagon accelerated.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I said, “Let’s drive safely.”
She replied, “Let’s zoom!”
[Chorus 2]
Whenever we go out,
We feel excited.
For some reason,
We’re thrilled.
[Instrumental Solo]
(Funky, distorted electric guitar solo E major 9 chords)
[Verse 3]
We refueled at a gas station.
I reset the odometer to zero.
We entered the highway.
There were no cars ahead.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
She yelled, “Step on it!”
I replied, “The speed limit is 70 km/h.”
[Chorus 3]
Whenever we go out,
We feel excited.
For some reason,
We’re thrilled.
[Bridge]
She said, “Open the throttle,
“Pump gasoline into the engine!”
“Drive at full speed!”
[Final Chorus 3]
Whenever we go out,
We feel excited.
For some reason,
We’re thrilled.
[Outro]
