The Chase
Hans Zimmer & Nick Glennie-Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pack your bags we're headin' out
Down the road without a doubt
You might say I'm crazy now
But it's not too late to blow this town
Ready Drivin'
Steady Steady we'll chase the sun
Ready We're so
Steady Ready let's have some fun
The open rode it feels so fine
Soothes my soul and frees my mind
Now there's no place I gotta be
And I don't know what's next for me
Ready Drivin'
Steady Steady we'll chase the sun
Ready We're so
Steady Ready let's have some fun
Life is short we've gotta live
Take it in and make it big
Yesterday is in the past
So while we can let's make it last
Ready Drivin'
Steady Steady we'll chase the sun
Ready We're so
Steady Ready let's have some fun
Ready Drivin'
Steady Steady we'll chase the sun




Ready We're so
Steady Ready let's have some fun
