LA City Apartment Block, 2 years later...
Sally looked around her empty apartment, unplugging the answering machine when she saw all the messages on the screen. She sighed as she looked at all the pictures on her wall. She took the family photo and placed it in a box, along with the broach and Jessica's tape. She placed it in the VCR and watched it several times.
Like the pine trees lining the winding road
I got a name, I got a name
She went to her shelf, loading all the attorney papers into the trash can. Sally looked at her credit and ID cards, placing them in the box in a small fanny pack.
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad
I got a name, I got a name
Sally sighed as she looked at her empty room, before attaching a large label to the box she had packed her things into. She wrote in large letters MOM AND DAD'S STUFF.
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I'm living the dream that he kept hid
Sally drove out of her house and headed out to the freeway. She increased speed as she drove out, breathing in the fresh air as the houses and buildings slowly disappeared behind her.
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
She looked up as she quickly passed the sign, saying in large letters YOU ARE NOW LEAVING THE CITY OF ANGELS! COME BACK SOON!
Like the north wind whistling down the sky
I've got a song, I've got a song
"Sorry, LA. Not anymore." Sally said, letting out a loud "WHOO-HOO!" as she drove further across the long open road.
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
I've got a song, I've got a song
She increased her velocity to it's highest point, a gleeful smile stretching across her face as she yelled "FREEDOM!" and sped on ahead.
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I go there proud
"Goodbye, Los Angeles! And goodbye, Laker's Attorneys! Sing it, Croce!" Sally shouted to the sky as she turned up the volume on her radio.
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
PHEW! "What the hell?!" Sally said as she skidded on the gravel, her exhaust pipe suddenly spewing out large fumes of black smoke as she slowed down, struggling to stay on the road.
"WHOOAAAAA!" Sally screamed as she skidded off of the road, landing in a pile of sand on the side. She skidded to her side to avoid ramming into the cacti ahead of her. Sally pulled her tyres with all of her strength, but it was no use. She was stuck.
"Great... just great..." Sally snapped, before yawning loudly as she struggled to stay awake. She looked up to see the large sign ahead of her. "WELCOME TO RADIATOR SPRINGS."
And I'm gonna go there free
Five days later...
Sally drove out of the infirmary, smoothly skidding on the road. She said "thanks, Doctor Hudson. I feel like brand new."
"You're lookin' it too, honey!" the old black car at the sticker store shouted happily. Sally said "thanks, uh... Lizzie, right?"
"As I've always been." Lizzie called back.
"You're lookin' okey dokey, Miss Sally." the blue-painted tow truck said to her. "Least I don't have t'tow you nowhere no more."
"I guess so, Mater." Sally said. "So, do you know who's in charge here?"
"Sure. Mr Doc Hudson. He fixed y'up, remember?"
"Oh, he's actually in charge, huh? Well, I need to talk to him about something."
Like the fool I am and I'll always be
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
"Miss Carrera. I don't know what your type of employment is." Doc said as Sally spoke to him.
They can change their minds but they can't change me
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
"I'm a trained attorney. And I have experience as a concierge too." Sally said. "Look, the truth is, I just wanna forget my old life. Start afresh. Know what I mean?"
Well, I know I can share it if you want me to
If you're going my way, I'll go with you
"Yeah. I know what that feels like." Doc sighed. "Well, Sheriff can help y'out with refurbishing the old Cosy Cone."
"Great. I'll start ASAP." Sally said. As she went to the door, she said "oh, by the way. Do I know you from somewhere? You look like someone my sister used to look up to."
"I don't know what you're talkin' about." Doc said as he left.
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
Sally sat in the empty office of the Cosy Cone. She placed her old box under her desk, before looking at the paperwork on the top. "So, this is what it feels like." she said to herself as she got to work in her new home.
