Song Lyrics
Song: “Love Road Vehicle”
Words & Music by John Anthony, written in Los Angeles CA
Lead Guitar creative work by Julian Wilson
Verse 1
She is the girl an’ this I find, don’t need to wait make up my mind
Don’t need to know when love is there, with her that love is everywhere
She brings me in the morning sun, she tells me I’m the only one
I touch her face she melts like wax, it’s time to give hold nothing back
Chorus
Rock, an’ Roll, is my love, road vehicle
You can go, with me, to see it all
Open road, take the time we need to take
Release the love, shake the ground we need to shake
Verse 2
They say love is a dangerous game on life’s highway
They say sooner or later it’s your way or my way
I’m takin’ my chances & live on the high road
Believe in the freedom of love as we grow old
(Chorus)
Verse 3
It’s 9am in southern Cal, they take it fast they take it well
They run around until they say, I’m happy with my sunny day
They look to me as if to bring, the songs they love the songs they sing
An every time I do it well, they buy another record sell
(Chorus)
Love Road Vehicle
“Love Road Vehicle” by Singer / Songwriter John Anthony. Words, music & bass by John Anthony, with special guest for creative work on rhythm & lead guitar Juliana Wilson.
