WE’RE HEADING NORTH ON THE 405

BREAKING OUT FROM SEPULVEDA PASS

IT’S FIVE O’CLOCK AND THE SUMMER'S BRIGHT

 AND WE’RE NEARING HOME AT LAST

THE KID’S FAST ASLEEP IN HIS CAR SEAT

MY WIFE’S RIGHT THERE BY MY SIDE

I’M FEELING TIRED FROM A LONG HARD DRIVE

HEADING NORTH ON THE 405

THEN, PASSING UNDER THE 101

WITH TRAFFIC MERGING FROM THE RIGHT

A LIGHT BROWN SEDAN PULLS ALONG SIDE

AND I GET A MARVELOUS SIGHT

I LOOKED RIGHT, OVER AT THE DRIVER

IT FELT LIKE WE’D ALREADY MET, WITH

SOFT BROWN EYES AND CHAMPAIGN HAIR

SHE HAD BEAUTY ONE NEVER FORGETS

I HELD MY SPEED TO STAY ALONG SIDE

HER LUSCIOUS LIPS AND BEAMING EYES

AND I GOT LOST IN A FANTASY DRIVE

HEADING NORTH ON THE 405

405, 405, HEADING NORTH ON THE 405

WE WERE TRAVELING WELL APACE, NOW

SLOW AS TRAFFIC THICKENED NORTH

BUT, I MEANT TO GET HER MEASURE

TO LIVE THIS MOMENT FOR ALL IT’S WORTH

WE CRUISED ON NORTH PAST ROSCOE

STILL TRAVELING SIDE BY SIDE

HER HEAD THEN TURNED TO FACE ME 

AND I GOT LOST IN HER EYES

MY WIFE THEN STARTED CONVERSATION

ON MATTERS RELATED TO SPEED

MY EYES WERE LOOKING BEYOND HER

AT THE EYES THEN LOOKING AT ME

THIS LOVELY SIGHT CAME ALONG SIDE

WITH LUSIOUS LIPS AND BURNING EYES

AND I GOT LOST IN HER TRUTH AND LIES

HEADING NORTH ON THE 405

405, 405, HEADING NORTH ON THE 405

CRUISING NORTH AS SHE PACED ME

NORDHOFF CAME AND PASSED ON BY

I WONDERED WHAT WOULD FATE BRING

COULD THIS DREAM BE KEPT ALIVE

JUST BEFORE THE DEVONSHIRE OFF RAMP

HEADING FOR THE WEST 118

SHE’D FALLEN BEHIND TO MERGE RIGHT

FRANTICALLY SIGNALING TO ME

I WANTED TO MOVE RIGHT TO JOIN HER

TO CONTINUE THIS FANTASTIC RIDE

BUT, I WAS CUT OFF MY A SEMI

AND MY WIFE HAD FOLLOWED MY EYES

AS I SAW HER HEAD FOR THE OFF RAMP

HER WIPERS WAVED A “GOOD-BYE”

I HIT MY EMERGENCY BLINKERS

TO SAY FAREWELL, THANKS FOR THE TRY

HIDDEN TEARS AS FANTASY DIES

ANOTHER DREAM NOT REALIZED

A GORGEOUS FACE WITH BURNING EYES

HEADING NORTH ON THE 405

405, 405, HEADING NORTH ON 405 

THIS FANTASY RIDE FOR A FANTASY PRIZE

WITH LUSCIOUS LIPS, AND BURNING EYES

I’D GOTTEN LOST IN THEIR TRUTH AND LIES

HEADING NORTH ON THE 405

405, 405, HEADING NORTH ON THE 405

405, 405, HEADING NORTH ON THE 405
