Driving Down to St. Tropez lyrics

She said, "Honey, let's go to St. Tropez

Oh, we leave tonight, we'll be there in a day

If we make it or not, we have to take the chance

'Cause we have waited all year for a summer to come

But it lost its way and turned around

Maybe it's hiding away in the south of France"

So we closed the house and loaded the car

Took some food and a borrowed guitar

And we started out on a thousand mile drive

And when we got to the coast, we found the sun

A brand new day had just begun

It was good to see, it was good to feel alive

Oh, there's nothing finer, nothing I'd rather do

Than to be travelling on that long road with you

Driving along, we were feeling fine

With the windows open and a bottle of wine

We were moving free, we were looking everywhere

'Cause there were people smiling and holding hands

Pavement artists and café bands

And every street-singing gypsy must have been there

Oh, there's nothing finer, nothing I'd rather do

Than to be travelling on that long road with you

Long road with you

Long road with you

Long road with you
