1st Verse:
- “So I was headin’ southbound, just outside of town, when I picked up this sound on the radio loud. Attempted to turn it down, but it just got even louder, so I’m hittin’ all the buttons and I even cut the power. But the damn thing kept playin’, and nothin’ it was sayin’ just a snap, crackle, pop, now I know I’ve gone insane. But I knew that already, its been explained times many. I seem to think I know things, don’t know thing after any. But I come out on top, play the bars to keep goin’. Any emotion you be showin’ is my reason to keep flowin’.”
- “So make your night complete. Stop, drop, and roll with me, its Richmond, Virginia heat. Word is bond, quality guaranteed.”
- “Its an East-coast thing. What can I say? Top off the jeep lookin’ for a trail to play. I go high in the sky on the 895, vibin’ out on the sunrays, not a cloud in the sky. I feel so alive, but I gotta keep movin’, choosin’ my path. I’ve got to avoid all the traffic. It makes me so sick. Can’t you relate? Why’d you hesitate? I tell ya this twice, its so nice. Rollin’ the dice to see where we’re goin’ next time. And there’s a story to unfold, so hit rewind. We’re going on a journey let it control your mind.”

Chorus:
- “Driving down 95 southbound. Ain’t nothing like old cruise control. Driving down 95 southbound. Soon the story will unfold.”

2nd Verse:
- “Just call me the customer, because I’m always right and believe me, I could fuel an argument all night. But there are more important things to write a rhyme about these days, like how ‘bout you, what’s that you doin’, its makin’ me crazed so…”
- “Make your night complete. Stop, drop, and roll with me yes, Richmond Virginia heat. Wayne Todd on the mic Cherokee now.”
- “Well if ya don’t know, what we’re tryin’ to groove, listen up everybody and we’ll show you. And if ya don’t believe what we’re tryin’ to prove, listen up everybody cuz its so true. Southbound 95 is where I rely to take the car for a ride, escape this crazy life. Like a mouse in a maze I’m hungry for the cheese, doin’ some things I thought I’d never, ever be doin. Screw it. Its for a good cause after all right? Good karma’s gonna make me go far right? I hope so, that’s what I’ve been told. I wouldn’t wanna grow old, bein’ shaped in a mold, ya know? Everybody’s gotta live their life the best they can. Lovin’ one another bein’ true to every friend. And if there’s nothin’ else you get from this song, remember to act with your heat, and you’ll never go wrong.

Chorus :
- “Driving down 95 southbound. Ain’t nothing like old cruise control. Driving down 95 southbound. Soon the story will unfold.”
