Only a short drive in the jungle
Only a short drive in the jungle
Gravel roads, muddy roads
Roads going somewhere
But who knows where?
Only a short drive in the jungle
Tall grass all round
Hot and sweating am I
Steering wheel kicking
Slippery hands squeezing
Fighting to control
Only a short drive in the jungle
Heart racing like the engine
No time for second thoughts
Have passed the point of no return
Only a short drive in the jungle
Not lost anymore
Hear the whine of the tires
We are on black pavement
Should be home in Cocoli soon
Thank God for that.
