Lyrics
[Goofy whistles, intro]

Goofy: Do ya need a break from modern livin'? Do ya long to shed your weary load? If your nerves are raw And your brain is fried, Just grab a friend and take a ride Together, upon the open road. ''C'mon, Maxie! Ah-yuk!''

Max: All in all, I'd rather have detention! All in all, I'd rather eat a toad! Goofy: Yuck! Max: And the old man drives like such a klutz, That I'm about to hurl my guts, Directly upon the open road!

Goofy: There's nothin' can upset me, 'Cause now, we're on our way, Our trusty map will guide us straight and true. Max: Roxanne, please don't forget me, I will return someday, Though I may be in traction when I do...!

Goofy: Me and Max relaxin' like the old days, Max: This is worse than dragon breath and acne! Goofy: In a buddy-buddy kind of mode. Max: I'm so mad I think I may explode! Goofy: When I see that highway, I could cry! Max: Ya know, that's funny, so could I! Both: Just bein' out on the open road!

[Instrumental]

Female Country Singers: Howdy, boys, Is this the way to Nashville? Tow Truck Driver: Watch it, Mac! Or you'll be gettin' towed! Prisoner: I'm in no hurry to arrive, 'Cause I'll be turnin' sixty-five, The next time I seize the open road.

Small Man: Just a week of rest and relaxtion! Large Woman: Yeah! Small Man: And the odd romantic episode! Max: Very odd! Mickey Mouse: Ha ha! And it's Californ-eye-ay or bust! Old Lady: Look out, you dirtbags, eat my dust! From now on, I own the open road!

Goofy: Just me and little Maxie, My pipsqueak pioneer. Nuns: Their car ventures forever westward ho! Nuns and Goofy: Yeehaw! Max: Could someone call a taxi And get me outta here, To Beverly Hills 9-0-2-1-0?

Chorus and Goofy: Oh... Every day, another new adventure! Every mile, another new zip code! And the cares we had are gone for good... Max: And I'd go with them if I could... Goofy and Chorus: I've got no strings on me... I'm feelin' fancy-free... How wonderful to be...

On the open road!
