Driving North (To Guanacaste)
© 1996 David L. Robert

Driving North to Guanacaste
Say good-bye to San Jose
I'm moving slow on that central highway
But I don't care if it takes all day
I know it’s going to take all day

Take a back road to Atenas
Sun bright on the mountainside
Something elec-tric between us
Love spark, I can't hide
Love spark make a better ride

But when I see that blue estero
I know my friends are not too far
Aristedes, Alex, Danny
Next stop, Nogui Bar

Driving North with mi amiga
That's what I call going in style
She's one-of-a-kind señorita
I can't get enough of her smile
That girl drives me wild

(Chorus)

Guanacasteco cowboy,
little ranchos everywhere
Corobici River Cafe,
before long I'll be there

Big tortugas on Playa Grande
Orion high in the sky above
I can't forget Tamarindo
On the beach you'll fall in love
What a place to fall in love

(Chorus)

Driving North to Guanacaste
Say good-bye to San Jose
I'm moving slow on that central highway
But I don't care if it takes all day
I know its going to take all day
