On the open road
On the open road
On the, oh-oh-oh
Hm-hm

Yeah I've travelled, whoa-oh-oh
All around the globe
Seen new places, people
Remember stories I've been told

I've been hot and bothered in the land of OZ
And frozen in the rain
But nothing comes close to the way I feel
When I'm on the open road again

Up from Bluff, Invercargill to Timaru
To freshen up, oh
Swim at Lake Wakatipu
Mount Maunganui
Wanganui
Pukekohe
Driving slowly
Singing all the way home
Kaingaroa
Onga Onga
Otorohanga
Kaungaroa

All the places I love to go
Yeah I've tasted
Finest food known to me
But nothing's better (whoa-oh-oh)
Than a fresh feed from the sea
I've been hot and bothered in the land of OZ
And frozen in the rain
But nothing comes close to the way I feel
When I'm on the open road again

Up from Bluff, Invercargill to Timaru
To freshen up
Swim at Lake Wakatipu
Mount Maunganui
Wanganui
Pukekohe
Driving slowly
Singing all the way home
Kaingaroa
Onga Onga
Otorohanga
Kaungaroa
All the places I love to go
Te Araroa

First to see the light
You should see their
Stars light up the night
Then jump to Gizzy
Keeping busy
Through their all-day sun
Walk the coast in a single run
Hit the road
Share the load
We're discovering
Snooze ya lose
And then ya wake up in

Taumata whakatangi
Hangakoauau
Otamateaturi
Pukakapikimaunga
Horonuku pokai
Whenuakitanatahu
Then ya wake up in
Taumata whakatangi

Hangakoauau
Otamateaturi
Pukakapikimaunga
Horonuku pokai
Whenuakitanatahu
Then ya wake up in
Taumata whakatangi
