Highway 90’s

Verse 1
I turned the key in a beat-up car
Static on the radio, driving way too far
No GPS, just a paper map
Sunset bleeding through a baseball cap

Windows down, summer in the air
Gas station soda, twenty bucks to spare
Somewhere between a memory and a dream
The road sign said 1993

Pre-Chorus
And every mile marker feels like home
A place we thought we’d never outgrow

Chorus
I’m on the Highway to the 90’s
Where the world was loud and the nights were free
Every exit sign is a memory
From a basement band to MTV

Cruising past the good old days
Where nobody cared what the headlines say
Just a mixtape and a broken stereo
On the Highway to the 90’s we go

I think I could stay on this highway, forever, and ever and ever

⸻

Verse 2
First exit says Arcade Lane
Street Fighter battles in the pouring rain
Next stop’s Nintendo Drive
GoldenEye nights until 3:05

Billboard reads Blockbuster Blvd
Friday night movies you had to rewind
Jurassic Park roars down the street
While we quote dumb lines we can’t repeat

Pre-Chorus
And every mile marker feels like home
Back before we all had phones

Chorus
I’m on the Highway to the 90’s
Where the world was loud and the nights were free
Every exit sign is a memory
From a basement band to MTV

Cruising past the good old days
Where nobody cared what the headlines say
Just a mixtape and a broken stereo
On the Highway to the 90’s we go

I think I could stay on this highway, forever, and ever and ever

⸻

Bridge
Exit sign says MTV Road
Back when music videos stole the show
Blink on the stereo, Nirvana too
Green Day screaming from a bedroom view

VH1 plays the classics late
TRL crowds at the studio gate
No feeds to scroll, no likes to chase
Just real life moving at its own damn pace

Another sign says Summer ‘99
Skateboards cracking on the county line
Friends in a car with nowhere to be
Just chasing songs and bad TV

No Facebook, X, or insta, just the moments we carry in our hearts, on this highway forever, and ever
⸻

Final Chorus
Yeah we’re on the Highway to the 90’s
Where the world was loud and the nights were free
Every exit sign is a memory
All That laughs on Nickelodeon screens

Passing signs for simpler days
Before the noise and the endless rage
Just a mixtape and a midnight show
On the Highway to the 90’s we go

⸻

Outro
Tail lights fading in the stereo glow
If you miss those days… you already know
Just take that road where the old songs play
The Highway to the 90’s is never that far away.

No, I don’t want to go back Facebook likes, the bullshit on X , the crazies on instagram. Everyone one hating everyone because of a political ideology, 
No politician ever worked for you but their own votes

I want to stay on the 90’s highway forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever!
