The city lights are blinking, but they don't feel quite as bright,
As the way the sun would hit the coast on a Friday night.
I’m cruising down Michigan Ave, trying to find my way,
Back to the golden rhythm of a simpler kind of day.
[Chorus] Meet me on the sunny side of the road,
Where the heart is light and we leave behind the load.
With a West Coast groove and a Windy City soul,
Let the melody take us where we lose all control.
The brass is playing loud and the backbeat’s feeling tight,
Chasing down a feeling underneath the neon light.
It’s a long way from the beach, but I’m driving toward the glow,
Leaving every shadow in the rearview as I go.
[Chorus] Meet me on the sunny side of the road,
Where the heart is light and we leave behind the load.
With a West Coast groove and a Windy City soul,
Let the melody take us where we lose all control.
[Instrumental Break - Horn Section and Synthesizer Solo] (Fast-paced brass stabs followed by a soaring, melodic synth solo in the style of 80s pop-rock)
[Outro] On the sunny side...
Yeah, we're moving toward the light.
Keep it rolling, baby, everything’s alright.
