When your grip keeps slippin and your clutch is gone
You're tired of spinning your wheels on your brain's front lawn
Well, keep your asphalt under, sunny side up,
A gas credit card and gigant coffee cup.
The rest of your life is gonna find you here
Get up on the highway and kick it in to gear

CHORUS:
Kick it in to gear, kick it in to gear
That's the only way you're gonna get out of here
Kick it in to gear, kick it in to gear
Sometimes you just got to kick it into gear

Hydromatic or a turbo drive
Well it ain't the destination; it's the ride, ride, ride
Well, keep the heavy to met al, the rubber to road
I hear your motor runnin; it's about to explode
I'll still be waitin' this time next year
Head on down the highway and kick it into gear

CHORUS
