[Verse 1]
The highway's open and the sun is full
And the vinyl upholstery heats up like worsted wool
The hills roll past us, then they rear up again
Take a deep breath now and count to ten
I reach across the stick shift and I pull you near

[Refrain]
The highway's open and it's hot in here, it's hot in here

[Verse 2]
Your skin sends all the sunlight back to hell
And you shine in the coming darkness and I guess it's just as well
That there's no one left, there's no one left at all
And then the hills behind your eyes start burning
Like a solid wall of licking flames
They burn red and clear

[Refrain]
The highway's open and it's hot in here, it's hot in here
