Describe the perfect song for a road trip and why it works.

I feel that this is a great song for this prompt. The opening lines are not just about driving but life.

Sometimes, I feel the fear of Uncertainty stinging clear And I, I can't help but ask myself How much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer

How many of us are just doing things because we are expected to? The norms of our society have told us to live in a certain way and we stick to that.

Further in the song, we come to the conclusion that it's not the life that the singer wants to have.

It's driven me before, and it seems to be the way That everyone else gets around But lately, I'm beginning to find that When I drive myself, my light is found

So, dear reader, whether you want to drive down the road that life has given you or find your own path[^path], I want to give you the same message.

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there With open arms and open eyes, yeah Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there I'll be there, oh

[^path]: As long as it's not on the sidewalk.
