about

'Hit the Road' was the Mip Power Trio's contribution to Cartridge Heart's (cartridgeheart.com) "Go Kick Ass!" compilation CD. The album is a collection of brand new recordings by 11 independent bands based in the Southern Ontario area.

"Go Kick Ass!" was recorded over the course of a single weekend at two studio locations: the Canadian Musicians Cooperative in Barrie and Era Sun Sound in Toronto. This frantic approach to recording has delivered an authentic snapshot of the Toronto underground that makes you wish you could be at the weekender celebrating the release that takes place on the 8th and 9th September at Toronto’s Dock Ellis."

lyrics

Pull up in front of your house, I call you outside
I got a full tank and a cooler of supplies
With my three hundred bucks
Plus what's in your pocket
we should last a fortnight

You say we're too old to leave on a whim
We need savings and hotels and some sort of plan
Just grab a bag of clothes
Let's go
I might let you drive

Turn up the stereo
Play something that we know-ow-ow
Cause here we Go-o-o
We're gonna hit the Ro-o-oad

Yeah, these lines of yellow
They guide us like an Arr-o-ow
Here we Go-o-o
We're gonna hit the Ro-o-oad

Let's go to Thunder Bay or Halifax
Maybe we'll take a less trodden path
That town you'd miss if you blink
Well we can stop for a drink
I bet the locals will love that...

The read window will collect grime over time
We can finger paint our stories on the miles we put behind
Then wash it all away
And start again

Turn up the stereo
Play something that we know-ow-ow
Cause here we Go-o-o
We're gonna hit the Ro-o-oad

Yeah, these lines of yellow
They guide us like an Arr-o-ow
Here we Go-o-o
We're gonna hit the Ro-o-oad

And it's hard
to think of home
When that skyline explodes
And we're just chasin' the unknown

Turn up the stereo
Play something that we know-ow-ow
Cause here we Go-o-o
We're gonna hit the Ro-o-oad

Yeah, these lines of yellow
They guide us like an Arr-o-ow
Here we Go-o-o
We're gonna hit the Ro-o-oad

Turn up the stereo
Play something that we know-ow-ow
Cause here we Go-o-o
We're gonna hit the Ro-o-oad

Yeah, these lines of yellow
They guide us like an Arr-o-ow
Here we Go-o-o
We're gonna hit the Ro-o-oad
