~GOIN' IN STYLE~

Dad's brand new Buick
Just cruisin' down the road
Packed to the hilt
with our summer vacation load



Didn't stop at restaurants
'Cause Mama packed a lunch
No mini van, no luxury van
Three kids in the back-seat
sittin' in a crunch



Now anybody that has kids
just know
Three in the back-seat
isn't gonna go



"He touched me"
"I did not"
"YOU KIDS STOP FIGHTING
OR I'M GONNA STOP!!"



Yep, five hundred miles
Just cruisin' down the road
We would leave at night
We were supposed to sleep
so there would be no fight....
HA!



Wide awake our eyes
we kept open
"Go to sleep you kids!"
Mom and Dad were sure hopin'



No way
were we going to sleep
We were too excited
So, wide open eyes
we would keep



Okay, we pushed Dad to the limit
He would turn that car around
We got real quiet
Didn't make a sound



He took us around the block
It was just a bluff
But what do little kids know
We thought we were going to lose
our vacation and that's just tough



So straighten up we did
Didn't make a sound
Well......
at least not until
we were too far from home
and knew he wouldn't turn around



The fun times we had
Three kids in the back-seat
Traveling five hundred miles
Yep, in Dad's brand new Buick
We were goin' in style
