Me and my folks in the car that day
Driving down the motorway
Heading for IJmuiden’s bay
To catch that ship to sail away
The DFDS took us through the night
With music laughter neon lights
We danced we laughed the stars in sight
A tiny casino, the mood was right
From Newcastle to the Highlands high
Chasing dreams beneath the northern sky
Every mile every song we
listen to on the road
Left a memory etched in time there a loads
Oh from pleasure rides to castle nights
That road to the Highlands felt so right
In Newcastle town the Metro’s wild
A theme park built where shoppers smiled
Then Sunderland called the crowd so loud
In Stadium of Light I felt so proud.
I stood so close could almost touch the grass
Bergkamp’s grace just in reach almost can touch him
A moment frozen, bright and clear
A dream I’ll carry year to year
From Newcastle to the Highlands high
Chasing dreams beneath the northern sky
Every mile every song we
listen to on the road
Left a memory etched in time there a loads
Oh from pleasure rides to castle nights
That road to the Highlands felt so right
Blackpool breeze and the Pepsi Max
The fastest ride no turning back.
The waves were singing by the shore
We wanted time to give us more
Through Scotland’s hills, the rivers wide
The Highlands whispered as we drive
Then Edinburgh lit up the night
With bagpipes playing by firelight
Men in kilts and torches high
A castle glowing against the sky
Music laughter cobblestone,
I’d never felt so far from home
That road to the Highlands felt so right
Yeah, from the sea to the northern lights
That road to the Highlands felt so right
