Great Ocean Road


I sat myself down with the sole intention of writing a song for our drummer, Pete, to sing - it needed to have a cool beat, touch on his favourite topics of surf and cars, and be in E. This is the result of my noodling - a nice road song. 
I've written another song for Pete :)

lyrics

Great Ocean Road
2011 Neil Porter 


Drive my Eldorado
Put my foot down to the floor
I’ve ever felt this kind of cool before

Drop the drop top top down
Got my honey keeping score
Never felt this kind of cool before

Me and my girl gonna twist and turn
Heading west from Lorne
Great Ocean Road
Apollo Bay and the 12 Apostles
Me and my girl gonna drive
Great Ocean Road

Going incognito
Gonna keep my Black Ice on
Drive along and sing my favourite songs

Gonna crank the HMV
Got “The Boys Of Summer” on
Drive along and sing my favourite songs

Me and my girl gonna twist and turn
Heading west from Lorne
Great Ocean Road
Apollo Bay and the 12 Apostles
Me and my girl gonna drive
Great Ocean Road

Aint gonna sit in silence
Ain’t gonna toe the line no more
We got sun and surf on a southern shore

We got Artisan Ochre
We got cut down beltline
We got sun and surf on a southern shore

Me and my girl gonna twist and turn
Heading west from Lorne
Great Ocean Road
Apollo Bay and the 12 Apostles
Me and my girl gonna drive
Great Ocean Road
