Drive

[GROVER]
Guys, we got this
You ain't shot this
Yo, I know your train of thought is
That there ain't no way in Hades that we’ll win
All your worries
Come in flurries
But we bested freakin’ Furies!
Look how far we’ve come, we can't give in

It’s one foot forward at a time
Dust off all that grit and grime
We still got a lot left to do
‘Cause people are counting on us
And I'm counting on you

[TRAIN CONDUCTOR, spoken]
All aboard!

[GROVER]
Drive, just drive
Stay ahead, stay ahead, and stay alive
We ain't got no time for moping
When we’re working and we’re coping
So pedal to the metal and drive

[TRAIN CONDUCTOR, spoken]
St. Louis! Everybody off!

[ANNABETH, spoken]
Look, The Gateway Arch!

[PERCY, spoken]
Look, a lady with a puppy! Is that a Chihuahua?

[ECHIDNA, spoken]
It's a Chimera!

[ANNABETH]
That was freaky

[PERCY]
That was scary

[GROVER]
Yo, guys, are you aware
We keep surviving every creepy crazy thing

[FARMER, spoken]
Hop on my tractor!

[PERCY, ANNABETH & GROVER]
Like an arrow from Orion
Keep on straight and keep on tryin'
No Fates are ever gonna cut our string

[NEWSCASTER, spoken]
As you can see, Bob, we've got thunder and flooding and hurricane-level winds. We urge all citizens to stay off the road, and don’t drive!

[PERCY, ANNABETH & GROVER]
Drive
Just drive
Stay ahead, stay ahead, and stay alive

[FARMER]
Keep stayin' alive!

[PERCY, ANNABETH & GROVER]
The weather may be stormy
But the road is still before me
So pedal to the metal and drive

[FARMER, spoken]
Bye kids!

[ANNABETH, spoken]
Here's the problem. Public transportation is suspended due to the storm, and if we get on a plane, Zeus will strike us right out of the sky

[PERCY, spoken]
Do we have enough drachmas for an Uber?

[GROVER, spoken]
We don't even have enough drachmas for a veggie burger!

[PERCY, spoken]
Yeah, well, if you hadn't had brought all those dam snacks

[ANNABETH, spoken]
Okay, this is not the time to be arguing!

[GROVER, spoken]
It was the Hoover Dam! And I was hungry!

[PERCY, spoken]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Why are we fighting?

[ARES, spoken]
I have that effect! Ares, God of war. Maybe you've met my daughter, Clarisse? Whoa, I come in peace. Relax. I hear you runts are headed to Hades. But you'll never make it on public transportation. I can take you as far as Vegas, baby! Y'all cool with motorcycles, right?

[PERCY, spoken]
What do you think? Can we trust this guy?

[GROVER]
It's one foot forward at a time

[PERCY]
Dust off all that grit and grime?

[ANNABETH]
We still–

[PERCY, ANNABETH, GROVER]
Got a lot left to do
'Cause people are counting on us
And I'm counting on you

[PERCY, ANNABETH, GROVER & ARES]
Drive
Just drive
Stay ahead, stay ahead, and stay alive

[ARES]
Yeah, the road, it offers freedom
As for rules, hell, we don't need 'em

[PERCY, ANNABETH, GROVER & ARES]
So pedal to the metal and drive

[PERCY, ENSEMBLE]
I never dreamed that I could do this (Ah-ah)
Never felt like I was worth a damn (Ah-ah)
But I, I'm sorta getting through this (Ah-ah)
I mean, whoa! I mean, look at where I am (Ah)

[ARES]
Vegas, baby!

[GROVER, spoken]
Thanks for the ride

[PERCY, spoken]
Bug! Bug! I swallowed a bug!

[ARES, spoken]
Forgetting something?

[ARES tosses PERCY his backpack.]

[ARES, spoken]
This is where I get off

[ANNABETH, spoken]
Ew

[GROVER, spoken]
That guy is so cool

[ANNABETH, spoken]
Okay, gang, we’ll be in LA tomorrow. But tonight, we need a place to sleep

[PERCY, spoken]
What about here? The Lotus Hotel

[ANNABETH, spoken]
You're joking, right? In the Odyssey, if you fell asleep in a lotus bed, one night could last one hundred years!

[PERCY, spoken]
Yeah, well, I'm sure that's irrelevant
Excuse me, miss, how long have you been at this hotel?

[BIANCA DI ANGELO, spoken]
Well, my brother and I arrived just yesterday: May 1st
1939!

[PERCY, spoken]
We'll sleep on the road!

[PERCY, ANNABETH & GROVER]
Drive, just drive
Stay ahead, don't get dead, and stay alive

[GROVER]
With the wind upon our faces
We're getting all the places

[ANNABETH]
No major fender benders
Now we’re looking like contenders

[PERCY]
The Oracle can can it
I'll save my mom and save the planet!

[PERCY, ANNABETH, GROVER]
So pedal to the metal and—

[PERCY, spoken]
Oh look, a bus to Los Angeles!

[ANNABETH, spoken]
Are you sure that's a good idea?

[PERCY, spoken]
Ah well, this one we just won't blow up

[PERCY, ANNABETH, GROVER]
And drive!
