Life is a highway

So, yeah, like I was just saying previously to @paigepeach, MY thoughts on listening to this song actually comes from an old tabletop RPG that my friends and I played; while I actually developed most of the setting, my friend Ritch was the one actually RUNNING the campaign. It was a combination of "TMNT and Other Strangeness" and "Ninjas and Superspies" (seeing as both were done in the Palladium system and were henceforth compatible); the party was part of ISN (International Security Network), a secret spy organization that was supposed to oversee the safety of the world. Because this ALSO incorporated "TMNT and Other Strageness", the entire party was comprised of mutant animals — my character was Agent James Alexander Stetson, a white mouse former Field Agent that was suddenly and unexpectedly promoted from Field Agent to Regional Overseer, West Coast Division of ISN.

Two things to note about this: there was a policy of only one mutant animal per six humans on a team, and mutant animals were considered to be lower tier than humans in most cases. Agent Stetson was suddenly in charge of basically the WEST COAST of the United States, was also expected to LEAD A TEAM, and his team was comprised completely of OTHER MUTANT ANIMALS; he was leading a seven-person team, and most of his team was insane/borderline insane. I'm going off on a tangent, however. Back to the song!

So, despite the fact that Agent Stetson was a wreck of a mutant mouse, he was making very good money. In fact, enough that he could afford his personal car, an original 1982 DeLorean, which he kept in tip-top shape, and only drove in when he WASN'T on duty (which was extremely rare, considering his current position). I keep imagining poor Stetson cruising around in his DeLorean, and basically having to drive out of harm's way from a NUMBER of enemy agent's traps and getting jumped by said enemy agents. For the chorus, I can picture him cruising down the titular "highway" with the ISN doctor that worked in his particular office, Romana (who he also had a bit of a crush on). In a way, outside of the strangeness that is mutant animals, I think I was just trying to translate the lyrics much more LITERALLY.
