	What a lyrical genius this guy is, honestly he works words with some crazy talent. And he's a pretty decent singer too, haha. There's a lot to this song, at first I just thought, okay, road trippin' song, or driving song, but it's so much more, it totally describes the feeling when you just want to drive away, nowhere to go, but good to be alone in your car and speeding along. That freedom, that independence that many of us feel so well when we're driving alone at night, speeding down an empty highway to nowhere, though it feels like you're really going somewhere, a greater purpose, perhaps. And of course, what could improve that scene but music. The radio blaring in the background you're singing along, it's quite an emotional feeling, actually. When you've got something so built up and you're flying down the road with the windows open, the wind rushing by, and the radio blaring, singing along at the top of your voice, not caring what it sounds like, because it's perfect, and it's drowned out anyway. Ah, so nice. Quite a song. [Jware.]

	this is one of my favourite songs ever!! just everything about it is so great... the lyrics everyone can relate to.... its about gettin away from it all...but in the back of ur head missing it all at the same time

	Anyone else amazed that he used three homophones in one sentence that didn't some absolutely retarded?

No Picture Adam Wanna Be	#4 by Adam Clarke at Jan 9, 1977 at 12:32 AM EST
	yeah i don't think so, hence the name, i think he's driving

No Picture HIYA Wanna Be	#5 by HIYA at Jul 17, 1978 at 9:23 AM EST
	I love this song. I first heard it at the beginning of the move "Can't Hardly Wait". I love that movie, but this song kicks ass. Fuck eveyone and go on a road trip!

No Picture James Wanna Be	#6 by James Makowiecki at Oct 8, 1985 at 5:23 AM EST
	"as I pour my poor heart out To a radio song that's patient and willing My volume drowns it out But that's O.K. cause I sound better than him anyway any day yeah my voice is sweet as salt" That is my favorite line in the song, because I've been there, done that, especially the last bit, where his "voice is sweet as salt" he admits that he's not as good a singer as the radio singer but he doesn't care anyway because he needs to let it out.

No Picture Emmanuel Average	#7 by Emmanuel Morales at Oct 1, 1986 at 12:58 PM EST
	At first I thought he was talking about stepping on a distortion pedal but then I realized.

No Picture Naomi Average	#8 by Naomi Branfoot at Nov 20, 2000 at 7:11 PM EST
	Damn, Max rules at writing songs. These lyrics are great and this song is very vengeful. It's like driving because you are pissed off but getting over it. He's like -fuck everyone else, I rule no matter what they say and my opinion is all that matters-. I search for comfort and I find it where I've found it many times beforem times before can be forgotten.

No Picture Drew Wanna Be	#9 by Drew Hanson at Jan 7, 2006 at 10:44 AM EST
	This song is not about driving at all. It's a metaphor about a lifestyle. Came upon it differently, but I live this lifestyle. In essence, living for the next moment. Hoping for something better. It's like trying to find something but you never really know what's good for you. Loving something, thinking it's perfect and seeing way past flaws. It's about enjoying solitude. Constantly imagining what's to come, maybe there will be someone there. Perhaps not, but it doesn't matter because you've always got yourself. It's also about being egotistical, but noticing it. Ironically, knowing and calling yourself a hypocrite for it. The lines : "But that's O.K. cause I sound better than him anyway any day yeah my voice is sweet as salt ". deal with it, being egotistical, but throwing in a pun that deep inside you know it. The last line reinforces the looking to the future. "Times before can be forgotten." Time past are forgotten because they are hurtful, and that's why this lifestyle goes into place, trying to find something good. But really never knowing. The never knowing is the open road. Everything else is metaphors for what goes on in your mind when you really stop to think about what's going on.
