Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause I've no money or care
Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause only a weenie would get there by air.

It's a hard thirty hours on the road from Three Rivers
Or seventy two if you tour on the way
Drive cross the flats 'til you reach Albuquerque
Greet sun on the mountains at the break of the day

Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause I've no money or care
Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause only a weenie would get there by air.

Hike up to a cave in the Sandias
Mountains of wonder that make the heart sing
Crash in the homes of my comrades from Outlands
Wake up and wash in a pure mountain stream

Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause I've no money or care
Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause only a weenie would get there by air.

Now we continue onto the southlands
But first to the place where the earth shows its blood
Pay heed to the ancients whose dwellings surround you
Let history unfold you like a thundering flood

Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause I've no money or care
Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause only a weenie would get there by air.

Meanwhile back home my friends rush for the airport
For minutes count much when the traffic piles high
Crash through the lines of religious fanatics
To sit with screaming infants in a jail in the sky

Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause I've no money or care
Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause only a weenie would get there by air.

At last we arrive at the fields of Estrella
Our gear is well stowed and it's quite close at hand
Our airboard companions are in hold over Phoenix
The choice of the campsite is at our command

Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause I've no money or care
Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause only a weenie would get there by air.

But first to the duty of airport retrieval
And then to determine what gear I must loan
For though Calon comrades come safe from the dragon
Their gear is in France now, on a trip all it's own

Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause I've no money or care
Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause only a weenie would get there by air.

Oh hail to Estrella, the greatest of battles
And hail to our foemen of valor and skill
I've got no ticket to rule my departure
Drive friends to the airport and leave at my will

Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause I've no money or care
Oh I'm to Estrella War driving
'Cause only a weenie would get there by air.
