Cruise Control

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna get in the car
And drive away
That's all I wanna do
Doesn't matter where we go
As long as it's me and you

Come ride with me all night
Wherever you wanna go
Into the moonlight
Drive to the end of the road
Keep going to the sunrise
Put the car in cruise control, cruise control, cruise control
Anywhere you wanna go

Everyday it's always the same
Gotta get away
Out of this game
Am so sick of this same town
This same place and these same faces

So you came
And you open my heart to
Everything I never thought I do
And everyway and all because of you
I gotta get away, get away, get away
And never come back, no

I just wanna get in the car
And drive away
That's all I wanna do
Doesn't matter where we go
As long as it's me and you

Come ride with me all night
Wherever you wanna go
Into the moonlight
Drive to the end of the road
Keep going to the sunrise
Put the car in cruise control, cruise control, cruise control
Anywhere you wanna go

Everyday like dejavu
I take a trip 'cause overdue
Am so troubled what they say
What they do, it's just me and you

So you came
And you open my heart to
Everything I never thought I do
And everyway and all because of you
I gotta get away, get away, get away
And never come back, no

Come ride with me all night
Wherever you wanna go
Into the moonlight
Drive to the end of the road
Keep going to the sunrise
Put the car in cruise control, cruise control, cruise control
Anywhere you wanna go

Cruise control, cruise control
Anywhere you wanna go
Cruise control, cruise control
Anywhere you wanna go

I just wanna get in the car
And drive away
That's all I wanna do
Doesn't matter where we go
As long as it's me and you

Come ride with me all night
Wherever you wanna go
Into the moonlight
Drive to the end of the road
Keep going to the sunrise
Put the car in cruise control, cruise control, cruise control
Anywhere you wanna go

Come ride with me all night
Wherever you wanna go
Into the moonlight
Drive to the end of the road
Keep going to the sunrise




Put the car in cruise control, cruise control, cruise control
Anywhere you wanna go

Overall Meaning

"Cruise Control" by Cody Williams is a song about the desire to escape from the monotony of everyday life and spend time with the person you love. The singer dreams of getting in the car and driving away, without a set destination, as long as they are with their lover. They long to leave behind their familiar town and its mundane routine, and venture into the unknown together. The song emphasizes the romantic nature of the journey, as they travel through the moonlight and watch the sunrise, while the car is in cruise control, an apt metaphor for the ease and comfort of being with each other.


The verses showcase the singer's discontent with their daily routine and their yearning to break away from it all. The chorus offers the solution - to go on a ride together, without a care in the world. The lyrics fail to reveal if they ever actually take the long drive or if it remains a fantasy.
