[Verse 1]
I packed the whole weekend in a lemon-yellow case
You said, “You look like trouble,” I said, “Keep up with my pace”
Two bags of cherries, one ridiculous hat
You called shotgun; I’m not giving that back

[Pre-Chorus]
We take the long way
We laugh too loud
You miss the turn and I’m proud

[Chorus]
Hey-ya, hey-ya, sing it with me
La-da, la-da, wild and carefree
Hey-ya, hey-ya, mile after mile
La-da, la-da, you make the whole trip worthwhile

[Verse 2]
We trade our favorite songs and make up the next verse
You’re wearing my sunglasses, somehow making them worse
A roadside stand sells peaches, we buy enough for ten
You swear that we’ll be home by dark—then ask to go again

[Chorus]
Hey-ya, hey-ya, sing it with me
La-da, la-da, wild and carefree
Hey-ya, hey-ya, mile after mile
La-da, la-da, you make the whole trip worthwhile

[Bridge]
No plans, just us
One more stop
You laugh, I laugh
We don’t wanna quit

[Final Chorus]
Hey-ya, hey-ya, sing it with me
La-da, la-da, wild and carefree
Hey-ya, hey-ya, mile after mile
La-da, la-da, you make the whole trip worthwhile

[Outro]
Hey-ya, la-da
You and me, still singing
