Baby, I've been thinking, it's too hard to speak these nights,
Can I confess what's on my chest, what's really on my mind.
See, I never was scared of nothing, there was nothing that we couldn't do,
We used to think that we could walk on water, just because we wanted to.
And it all seemed so easy, when we were living not just alive,
We talked about dreams, and how we would like to spend our lives.
When freedom was a tank of gas, on a long summer night,
To drive, just drive.
Can you keep a secret baby, if you can't, just lie,
Yeah, I want to scream, when I have this dream, that my whole life passed me
And they sold my heart for diamonds, and they sold some pride for gold,
There's lots of things that I can't get back, that the record company owns.
When 17 has turned 30, its all gone kiss it goodbye.
Hey baby, maybe we aint kids no more, but I'm too young to die.
There's still some freedom in this tank of gas, if youre by my side,
We'll drive, just drive.
Don't want no airplanes, no ticket on a fast train,
All I wanted was a two-lane, with you by my side.
We'll drive, all night long, get on board.
We'll drive, with the radio on.
You can lean your head on my shoulder, and just for a while,
Forget about the world, baby, mile after mile.
We'll drive, all night long yeah, you want a ride?
No airplane, no ticket on a fast train,
All I wanted was a two-lane, and you by my side.
We'll drive, all night long, get on board,
Smack, crack, bushwhacked.
Tie another one to the racks, baby.
Hey kids, rock and roll.
Nobody tells you where to go, baby.
What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?
Hey, kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby.
Hey kids, shake a leg.
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby.
Maybe you did. Maybe you walked.
Maybe you rocked around the clock.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
Maybe I ride. Maybe you walk.
Maybe I drive to get off, baby.
Hey kids, shake a leg.
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby.
Ollie, ollie.
Ollie ollie ollie.
Ollie ollie in come free, baby.
Hey, kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby.
Smack, crack. Shack-a-lack.
Tie another one to your back, baby.
Hey kids, rock and roll.
Nobody tells you where to go, baby.
Maybe you did. Maybe you walk.
Maybe you rock around the clock
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
Maybe I ride. Maybe you walk.
Maybe I drive to get off, baby.
Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby.
Hey kids, rock and roll.
Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
That everyone else get around
Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
It was painted red the stripe was white
It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
We put on a shine, put on a motor
Built out of love, and made for the water
Ran her for years, til' the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood will never be forgoten
It was just an old plywood boat
With a 75 Johnson with electric choke
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp
And I would make it whine
He'd say, You can't beat the way a old wood boat rides
Just a little lake cross the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When Daddy let me drive
Just an old half ton short bed ford
My Uncle bought new in 64
Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
He'd let me drive her when we haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thickpen Road
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels
Smiling like a hero who just received his medal
It was just an old hand me down ford
With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel and
I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
He would say a little slower son
Your doing just fine
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When Daddy let me drive
I'm grown up now
3 daughters of my own
I let them drive my old jeep
Across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile
And say
It was just an old worn out jeep
Rusty old floor boards
Hot on my feet
A young girl two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say
Turn it left, and steer it right
Straighten up girl now, you're doing just fine
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
But I was high on a mountain
When Daddy let me drive
Daddy let me drive
Oh he let me drive
It's just an old plywood boat
With a 75 johnson
And electric choke
OH OH, OH OH
IT'S EASY TO FOOL AROUND IT'S HARDER TO KEEP THE FAITH
BUT I WANNA SETTLE DOWN NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES
IF I EVER BREAK YOUR HEART IF I EVER DO YOU WRONG
I HOPE I NEVER GIVE YOU CAUSE TO DOUBT WERE YOU BELONG
IF A MILLION MILES WERE BETWEEN US
I'D WANT YOU TO KNOW
IF I HAD TO DRIVE ALL DAY TAKE THAT FLIGHT
ACROSS THIS OCEAN I'M COMING HOME TONIGHT
DON'T LET IT PLAY ON YOUR MIND
'CAUSE MY DEVOTION IS FOR ALL TIME
SOME PEOPLE WANT IT ALL SOME ONLY WANT THE FUN
BUT I'M HERE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M ALL ABOUT THE LOVE
SOME PEOPLE LET IT SHOW SOME PEOPLE WAIT TOO LONG
WELL I,M GONNA TELL YOU NOW THAT YOU'RE ALWAYS NUMBER ONE
IF A MILLION MILES WERE BETWEEN US
I'D WANT YOU TO KNOW
IF I HAD TO DRIVE ALL DAY TAKE THAT FLIGHT
ACROSS THIS OCEAN I'M COMING HOME TONIGHT
DON'T LET IT PLAY ON YOUR MIND
'CAUSE MY DEVOTION IS FOR ALL TIME
IF I HAD TO DRIVE ALL DAY TAKE THAT FLIGHT
ACROSS THIS OCEAN I'M COMING HONE TONIGHT
DON'T LET IT PLAY ON YOUR MIND
'CAUSE MY DEVOYION IS FOR ALL TIME
MY DEVOTION IS FOR ALL TIME
Who's gonna tell you, when it's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things aren't so great?
You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong!
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?
Who's gonna pick you up, when you fall?
Who's gonna hang it up, when you call?
Who's gonna pay attention, to your dreams?
Who's gonna plug your ears, when you scream?
You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong!
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?
Who's gonna hold you down, when you escape?
Who's gonna come around, when you break?
You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong!
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?
You can't go on, thinking nothing's wrong?
Who's gonna drive you home tonight!
I'm bleeding
I don't think I can go on
I'm dying
My last breath has come and gone
Pity the man
Searching in the sky
Looking for a sign from above
And he never caught a glimpse of
What he's worthy of
Don't sit and wait
For the world on a plate
It's not a stroke of luck or chance
Just draw a bead on that sucker
And driveI'm falling
I don't know what's up or down
I'm spinning
I can't turn my life around
Pity the man
Waiting for a clue
Can't tell what to do with himself
Ends up as a fool who
Lives for someone else
Don't sit and cry
While the world passes by
Stop tagging after the other guy
Just get a line on that mother
And drive
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before and seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there I'll be there
So, if I decide to waiver my chance
To be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine
And hold my own and drive?
Aah ah ooo
It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
That everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine?
Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea
Whatever tomorrow brings
who's gonna tell you when
it's too late
who's gonna tell you things
aren't so great
you know
you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight
who's gonna pick you up
when you fall
who's gonna hang it up
when you call
who's gonna pay attention
to your dreams
who's gonna plug their ears
when you scream
you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight
who's gonna hold you down
when you shake
who's gonna come around
Drive, I'm gonna do what I want
And I don't care about the rest
And if I fall, I will get up
I will deliver my best
This can be a lonely road
But it's what I choose
The pain and the sacrifice
I've nothing to lose
I'm alright, I'm okay
I'll survive another day
I'm alright, go away
Can't you hear the words I say
Nothing but madness, no one to talk to
Feeling like you're all alone
Fearing the failure and bearing the weight
Dealing with it all on your own
You tell me I can't, but I'm not listening
It doesn't matter what you say
Try, if you want to, change my destiny
I'll get there someday
Sometimes I think I'm going under
Don't know if I can take no more
But then I turn the fear to hunger
I'll turn this battle into war
Faster, I'm gaining momentum
I'm getting closer to my goal
Nothing can stop me or get in my way
I'm in complete control
Failure, no longer an option
Past the point of no return
Nothing comes easy and nothing is free
Wheels keep turning
Blind desires
Core ambition
Never tires
Got an engine
Got intentions
No dissensions
Nothing to hide
Gotta' mission
Street munitions
Any road block
I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
I'll run it
You'll know i'll run it
Road side tyrants
Revolution
Speed is silent
Absolution
Got reactions
Got attractions
Each infraction
We're gonna' die
Got redemption
Fools intentions
Any road block
I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
I'll run it
Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel

Yeah
Yeahh
I was in the background, baby
Fading out the fuel
She was on the front line
Shouting, "Start up the room"
I want to get closer
But there's nothing I can do
What a shame (Yeah, yeah)
I'm heading for the exit
Guess it's time to hit the road
I wish she was with me
'Cause I, I just never know
I pull the car up, thinking pedal to the floor
About to take off and she opens up the door
She said, "Let's get going. We've got time,"
I can see that look inside her eyes, yeah
And to my surprise it was all green lights
Life's a crazy ride
So get in the car and drive
Come on now
Yeah
We were in the fast lane, going to who knows where
No destination but you don't seem to care
She kept me guessing with the moonlight in her eyes
So fierce now (yeah, yeah)
I stopped to question all the things that I don't know
She doesn't answer she just turns up the radio, yeah
She said, "Let's get going. We've got time"
(We got time, we got time)
I can see that look inside her eyes
And to my surprise (and tomy surprise) it was all green lights
Life's a crazy ride
So get in the car and drive
Sometimes in life, moments arrive
Things don't turn out the way you planned
So never think twice
Just get in the car and drive
Yeah, yeah
Come on now, come on now
Listen
She said, "Let's get going. We've got time" (We've got time)
I can see that look inside her eyes, hey
And to my surprise (my surprise) it was all green lights
Life's a crazy ride (Life's a crazy ride)
(Get in the car and drive)
She said, "Let's get going. We've got time" (We gotta drive, we gotta drive)
I can see that look inside her eyes, yeah (I see that look inside your eyes)
And to my surprise it was all green lights
Life's a crazy ride
You just can't think twice
So get in the car and drive
Yeah
Drive your car
Through the kitchen cupboard door
Through the winter Down to the floor
Drive your head
To the bathroom tile
Smile 'round the corner and your friends
They wanna play Do you wanna play games?
It's alright...square your head Your head is square
Go out with me Come out
1 2 3...1 2 3 I didn't care...
I wanted you to know I didn't care
I always loved your hair
I wanna fight the clouds with your head on a stick
Fight the bush with your water and your leaves
And you leave so...
Fight with me Run the grass Run the road
The road house Home with me In my head
In your heart Under your ribs In my mind
Sleep your box I sleep in your mind
[Verse 1: Curren$y]
Dirty ashtrays, empty bottles of champagne,
Tryna find my way in this maze, which is the game
Bitches n gold chains, pistols and diamond rings
More than my fair seen, been on the scene since I've
seen
Niggas make green, used my common-sense to seem hella
easy
But it took a grip a time pimp, believe me
Just wanted to make moves while my dudes was still
alive to see me
Do it like I was doin it for tv
Me and 2 chainz blew hella trees
Take your maserati, hard as I set em' down on chevy
seats
Love you dealin' with a G
Your club for audio drugs, 16 bars is a K
1 mixtape is a whole barge, load it down with that
sneeze
We record it, we float it in, it's movin' in them
streets
The monumental movement got that music for the fiends
Be cautious, this boss shit, be mine for when you speak
Gotta read between them lines to find what's hidden in
these beats
[Hook: Curren$y]
It ain't what you wear it's what you drive,
It ain't what you drive it's where you park,
It ain't where you park it's where you live,
It ain't where you live it's how you die.
It's either how you died or who you killed
Nigga, Yeah...
It ain't what you wear it's what you drive,
It ain't what you drive it's where you park,
It ain't where you park it's where you live,
It ain't where you live it's how you died.
It's either how you died or who you killed
[Verse 2: Young Roddy]
I used to be that nigga stealin' bicycles
Young fly nigga, til' I die I stay live nigga
So stressed out I used to blaze til' my eyes little
Hella high pimpin' on the corner with them wild niggas
Get rich or die tryin'I got that feelin'
I'm so close to a million, and the Lord is my witness
I swear to God I love her, I'm just bad with commitment
That simply, we smoke till them sandwich bags empty
I burn a joint with Jaz, he talked religion
And I ain't attend church in a minute
Lord know's I need to hear this
But I been like a pilot, plottin' on my paper mission
My hustle game official, I used to hoop like Penny
Was flat broke, no pennies, had henney in my system
Big money on my mental, her ass fat as a hippo
Girl watchu' tryna' get into
From a rental, to a hoop-d, to a benzo my nigga
[Hook: Curren$y]
It ain't what you wear it's what you drive,
It ain't what you drive it's where you park,
It ain't where you park it's where you live,
It ain't where you live it's how you die.
It's either how you died or who you killed
Nigga, Yeah...
It ain't what you wear it's what you drive,
It ain't what you drive it's where you park,
It ain't where you park it's where you live,
It ain't where you live it's how you died.
It's either how you died or who you killed
[Verse 3: Styles P]
It's either how you died, or who you killed
Where I'm from Niggas tryna move them pills
Niggas push them wheels, one shot pop in the kills
If you rappin' then I hope you get a deal
Nigga, If it's where you live, I'm in the Ritz
In a mansion up state, I'm the shit
If it's where you park, I don't park,
Valet parks for me, team full of shooters on the block
that'll spark for me
It ain't what you drive I get drove
Nigga I'm world-wide, across the globe
It ain't what you wear if it was nigga
I wear Nikes, Polos and Jordans my whole life
And Ice
If you ask me it's what you smoke
It it ain't strong get another dose
Ghost
So be careful what you rep
Salute to D-Block and the Jets
Whattup
[Hook: Curren$y]
It ain't what you wear it's what you drive,
It ain't what you drive it's where you park,
It ain't where you park it's where you live,
It ain't where you live it's how you die.
It's either how you died or who you killed
Nigga, Yeah...
It ain't what you wear it's what you drive,

Till you're just begging me to hold you
Ya whatever you want
Whatever you want
But you're gonna have to ask me
Your mouth waters
Stretched out on my bed
Your fingers are trembling
And your heart is heavy and red
And your head is bent back
And your back is arched
My hand is under there
Holding you up
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you, baby, till you feel the daylight
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you till you feel the daylight
That's right
That's right
In the kitchen
In the shower
And in the back seat of my car
I'll hold you up
In your office
Preferably during business hours
'Cause you know how I like it when there's people around
And I know how you like it
Yeah I know how you like it
I know how you like it when I tease you for hours
Your mouth waters
Stretched out on my bed
Your fingers are trembling
And your heart is heavy and red
And your head is bent back
And your back is arched
And my hand is under there
Holding you up
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you, baby, till you feel the daylight

And drive you till you feel the daylight
Oh and this has just begun
Yeah this has just begun
Because we haven't even gotten started yet
I haven't even
I haven't even tied you up
I haven't even turned you over
This is where I want to live
Right here between your hips
Where all the love you hold and hide
It's where it lives
Right here between your hips
This is where I want to live
It's where all the love you give exists
Your mouth waters
Stretched out on my bed
Your fingers are trembling
And your heart is heavy and red
Your head is bent back
Your back is arched
My hand is under there
Holding you up
I'll hold you up
And drive you all night
I'll hold you up
And drive you, baby, till you feel the daylight

When I drive car
I feel like sexy
My blood get hot
My head get high
I work so long
My heart get heavy
But Friday come
The week go by
I leave work early early and I go to town
I meet my girly girly when the sun go down
My heart go swirly whirly make my head spin round
The lights in the mirror the stars
I just drive
I just drive
I just drive
My car so nice
So style and fancy
So softy smooth
So big and round
In curve or straight
I drive like danger
My headlight off
My window down
My girl say crazy crazy why you drive so fast?
I steer like lazy lazy like I built to last
The world go hazy mazey make the tree go past
Forever and ever we go
I just drive
I just drive
Turnpike, nursery pike, moon pie, black eye, why try, 75, 41, 285,
Have fun, flat tire, so tired, everybody's downtown,
Horse town smoggy, smoggy all around.
Golf put pigeon strut, wing nut, sand truck, 4, 6, 8 wheels.
Six flags and scrubby deals.
Make a reservation with the leather on your seat.
Skip the 4th and go straight to 5 baby¡
(chorus) drive, drive, drive, drive.
Winnebago move aside, making room for double wide.
Roadkill ballerinas, smash a bug, fill up at fina.
Roadside preachers with a kickstand promise.
Make a reservation with the leather on your seat.
I love the way you cruise, so fly, so baby¡
(chorus)
When chaos reigns without a purpose
When the swell of sound becomes too much
Crushed between the cogs that work us
When I feel I'm slowly losing touch
Sometimes I drive to run from all my demons
Sometimes I drive so I can be alone
Sometimes I drive to see the world in different light
Sometimes I drive for no reason at all
When the walls close in around me
When the ceiling's caving in
When anxiety surrounds me
When my patience is wearing thin
Sometimes I drive to run from all my demons
Sometimes I drive so I can be alone
Sometimes I drive to see the world in different light
Sometimes I drive for no reason at all
The open road unwinds before me
An onyx ribbon spreading out
No idea where I'll be going
Sometimes the journey is what counts
Sometimes I drive to run from all my demons
Sometimes I drive so I can be alone
Sometimes I drive to see the world in different light
Sometimes I drive for no reason at all
Sometimes I drive to run from all my demons
Sometimes I drive so I can be alone
Sometimes I drive to see the world in different light
Straight ahead, right down the highway
Out across New Mexico
Passing trucks with Haggard singing on the radio.
There's a shootin' star falling behind me
But wishin' won't make a dream come true
Right now there's only one thing that I gotta do.
I gotta drive, keep on rolling
I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright.
One more stop, fill her up
A cup of coffee and a piece of pie
A dollar tip and I'm back out under that western sky.
Got the pedal down as far as it's going
I ain't worryin' about my speed
'Cause I just don't know how long she'll wait for me.
Oh, I gotta drive, keep on rolling
I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright.
--- Instrumental ---
There's a shootin' star falling behind me
But wishin' won't bring me home to you
Right now there's only one thing that I gotta do.
Oh, I gotta drive, keep on rolling
I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright.
Drive
I gotta drive
Oh, I gotta drive
Drive Drive it home right now
Drive it home know how
Take it from my heart
Gotta tear yourself apart
From hell...sinking hell

Burning kidneys where I roam
Never taking you back home
Let it out ride tonight
Drive Drive it home right now
Drive it home know how
Take me from my heart
You gotta tear yourself apart
Drive it home right now
Drive it home know how
Told you from the start
Tear your fucking head apart
Drive me home right now
Drive it home know how
Take it from my heart
Take me from my heart
Ground, turning ground burn it down burn it down
Crucify my nation Crucify the population
Time dollar line try to find where you gonna run to hide
From my eyes from my mind
Into my children's face... their faces
Stay away! Goddamn it Stay away! Never come back!
Disintegrate, Decision and the popular creation
Let it out, ride tonight
So he loed and you lied and that bitch she knows she's gonna die
Keep it hiding, deep inside, she lied to swallow her pride
That bitch knows where it goes, Down Incineration
Incinerate My Mind
Incinerate My Nation
Punishment? Exiled. Punishment? Exiled.

You can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong, but bye,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(who's gonna drive you)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who's gonna drive you home)
Oh, you know you can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(Who's gonna drive you home)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
Asleep in the house
With cars that drive by
Roll on to your destination
As we kick up dust
Into the evening sky
Roll on to your destination
And what would you do
If i could follow
Will you drive by here tomorrow
Can you see me in the sky
If i could pick one car to follow
Do you think you'd mind
My pillow thinks
About as much as i
And we wonder where you're going
And the cars keep coming
In an endless supply
Why are you all in such a hurry
If i could you know i'd follow you
A thousand break lights on my window
Dennis Brown playing on my stereo
Wait all this time riding up on the kings highway
So I see you set up the roadblock
With an empty quart, I drove right through the stop
Don't ask me where I've acquired my brand new car
I've been holding tears, it's taken me a couple of gears
I noticed that the lights have changed
The freaks are somehow normal and accepted deranged
So why must I be confused, I can't be around your abuse
Let me tell you
Your mixed up moods and attitudes won't work
I'm done with this type of love we do, do you hear me?
All you do is confuse and hurt
So I pass your house for one last time and drive, yeah
Worry, thinking, speeding, complaining
All these signs that I've blown through
Around the corner at a quarter to three
Accelerate as I start to leave from you
As I leave from you
Let me tell you
Your mixed up moods and attitudes won't work
I'm done with this type of love we do, do you hear me?
All you do is confuse and hurt
So I pass your house for one last time and drive, yeah
Drive away from you
Drive away from you
Drive away from you
Drive away from, from you
Drive away, drive away from you, you
For one last time and drive
One last time and drive
Drive away from you
Your mixed up moods and attitudes won't work
I'm done with this type of love we do, do you hear me?
All you do is confuse and hurt
So I pass your house for one last time and drive, hey
Drive away from you
Then I drive, drive away from you
His feet are dirty
And his face, his face is long
And while he's peeking out
Through his hair, he hides the pain
Till that Lennon song comes along
He'll turn it off and say
"Can you drive?
Drive
Can you drive?
Drive
Can you drive?"
Jimmy, we need to borrow this for a minute
'Cause we need to escape
I am signing to escape
Now there's so many things that
He's gonna do, yeah, in five lifetimes
Hell, I couldn't do 'em all
Hey hell and while he's rolling his own smokes
He says to me, "He's buying a new ride today
A classic deal the boss will give"
He said the same thing two weeks ago
You've seen that sweaty jet rag feeling come over him
And I've seen that boy nod no, into a dream a time or two
Hey, hey and on his way out his glazed stare
Will make you stop and wonder
Hey William, is that the last time
I'm gonna look at you?
{But the next day phone will ring
And it will be him}
Can you drive?
Drive
Can you drive?
Drive
Can you drive?
Jimmy, what would you say?
What would you do?
Oh should I pray
Or do you think that this blind mind
When I feel afraid your comfort comes to me
And then I can be all that you want of me
These feelings I just can't hide
Pushing up from deep inside
Please take my life
Get into the car and let's just drive
I'm just a man, nothing more than what you see
When I'm hurt I cry
And when I'm cut I bleed
These feelings I just can't hide
Pushing up from deep inside
Please take my life
I'm tired of thinking less
Of what you heard me say
I'm troubled I confess
It's clear that I can't stay
Surrender now I guess
Safe to face the light of day
I'll tell you all the rest
It'll have to be on the way
If I live that long
Don't think I'm that strong
I wish I was wrong
But that's not likely
Driving through the night
The street lamps shine so bright
Oh, they're so bright
Everything will pass
Like a car with tires that squeal
'Cause it's driving way too fast
And it's me behind the wheel
I know it's been a blast
Don't know how I'm supposed to feel
The more I hit the gas
The less it seems to be real
I won't live that long
But I do feel strong
You can prove me wrong
But that's not likely
Driving through the night
The street lamps shine so bright
But I don't feel all right
Driving through the night
The street lamps shine so bright
But I don't feel all right
Driving through the night
Drive, drive, drive, d-d-drive, drive, drive
Driving fast

Headlight watching,
Sick of talking,
Shut your mouth and drive.
Feels like leaving,
there ain't to reason,
we can't still get high.
Roll down the windows,
unlock the door,
Don't care if you love me anymore..
[chorus]
Baby just drive, just drive
Cuz baby tonight,
I don't wanna fight
I just wanna watch you drive,
watch you drive, watch you drive
Got your girlfriends letter,
she ain't no better, but
I'm the only woman tonight and
I'm choking on trouble,
So pass me the bottle.
Shut your mouth and drive..
Roll down the windows,
unlock the door,
Don't care if you love me anymore..
[chorus]
I can keep your secrets
and I'll believe your lies
Anything to keep you one more night
It's all right.
I can't smell this
I can't feel this
I can't eat this even touch this
I can't smoke this so face this
I can't play this
I want you to take it away
Grrr move it I don't want it
Could I choose
What I'd choose
This is how I want it to be
You can't smell me
You can't feel me
You can't taste me even see me
You cant hear me so tell me how I fake it
I want you to take it away
Grrr move it I don't want it
Could I choose
What I'd choose
This is how I want it to be
I can't write this
I can't drive this even feel this
You think you've made it to the top because people know your name,
It's still the same
Your daydreams aren't forever, better get your shit together
For a new game
Back to your day job
Back to your girlfriend
Back to your hometown
The biggest lie
Passing harsher judgement, but you brought it on yourself
By being you
You trade your work for no success, you tried to be a hero
But you end up nothing
If you cut me, I will bleed
just enough to get your attention
here I am, I'm on display
pass me by without a mention
you never said this would be easy
but does it have to be so hard
my eyes are burning, my head is dizzy
a thousand miles doesn't seem so far
drive a thousand miles, it doesn't seem so far
what you leave behind makes up who you are
drive, just drive
roll the windows down and feel alive
all night, all right
I'll drive until the morning light
I need the silence to escape your violent eyes
just drive away, just drive
spend an hour or a day
just enough to get my attention
as the wolves begin to play
here's a knife to cut the tension
all the nights seem dark and dreary
the morning sun begins with hope
sometimes I wonder if you can hear me
or have I reached the end of the road
drive a thousand miles, it doesn't seem so far
what you leave behind makes up who you are
drive, just drive
roll the windows down and feel alive
all night, all right
I'll drive until the morning light
I need the silence to escape your violent eyes
just drive away, just drive
my voice is shaking from the risk I'm taking
I can't stop driving, the sun is rising
drive, just drive
roll the windows down and feel alive
all night, all right
I'll drive until the morning light
drive, just drive
roll the windows down and feel alive
all night, all right
I'll drive until the morning light
I need the silence to escape your violent eyes
[Halford/Roy Z/Marlette]
I've got you under my wheels now baby
That's where you belong
I've got you under my wheels now baby
I'll drive you all night long
I've got you under my wheels now baby
There's nothing you can do
I've got you under my wheels now baby
My heart is coming through
You'll never go too far or go too fast
Let's rev it up and feel the engine blast
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
I've got you under my wheels now baby
You're moving way too fast
I've got you under my wheels now baby
We've got to make it last
You'll love it when you feel my engine roar
You'll love it when you feel the power soar
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
Drive, drive, drive with me
The road will set us free
Let's crank it up and drive this heavy load
It's time to rock - Come on let's hit the road
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
Drive, drive, drive with me
The road will set us free
(Keep driving all night long)
I don't mean to pry
But I'm seeing signs I can't ignore
You've been holding something deep inside
And I can't keep quiet anymore
Of the urgency, I'm well aware
I'll take you anywhere
If you're dissatisfied
Chorus:
Let's just drive
Take a deep breath and I swear
Everything will be alright
Let's just drive
Until it gets us somewhere
Even if it takes all night
Let's just drive
I know you thought we were the same
We're two different kinds
I've been following a narrow lane
You follow yours where it winds
Now it's time to get in gear
I'll take you far from here
If you're dissatisfied
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Let's just roll, away tonight
Let's just roll away until we get it right
Let's just drive
I know it's late now I know I ought to go
Ride in your car now but please don't drop me home
My head's so heavy, could this be all a dream?
Promise me maybes and say things you don't mean
Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
No boy, don't speak now you just
Drive, drive, drive
Take me through make me fell alive, alive
When I ride with you
Keep my heart turning on axles around you
Keep our love burning just like it used to do
Now just for us, they could play our favourite tune
Let's not discuss all these things we can't undo
Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
No boy, don't speak now you just
Drive, drive, drive
Take me through make me fell alive, alive
When I ride with you
Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
I don't claim to know it all
I've had some wins I've had some falls
The road is long and time is short
I don't wanna spend too much time in thought
I don't intend to play it safe
I've gotta move to find my place
I wasn't born for small talk crowds
I know what I want and its not in this town
I don't wanna just survive
I'm gonna hit the road I'm gonna drive
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home
I'm gonna drive
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone
When I arrive
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one
In my way as long as I'm alive
I'm gonna drive
Everything I said I meant, nothing comes by accident
I'll change my name, change my face
To want something better is no disgrace
I'm just following the signs
Keep my eyes ahead I'm gonna drive
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home
I'm gonna drive
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone
When I arrive
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one
In my way as long as I'm alive
I'm gonna drive
I've come a long way
I see the light of day
I think I've found the answers I'm looking for
And there ain't no reason
For turning back, its just one life
I'll play the hand I've got
I'm gonna drive
I've hit the highway, and I'm not comin home
I'm gonna drive
I'll do it my way, I'll call you on the phone
When I arrive
It's all I got and I'm not gonna stop for no one
In my way as long as I'm alive
I've been watching myself, turning from bad to worse
I've been locked up in the basement putting bad habits first
I won't answer my phone cus I wanna be left alone
Just shed all the skin that makes me well and choke
I'm not alive
I'm just as good as dead
I can't find a reason why I should even get outta bed
Just make it stop
Just make it go away
I'll give you everything I have if you got the right words to say
I've been watching myself, turning from bad to worse
I've been locked up in the basement putting bad habits first
I won't answer my phone cus I wanna be left alone
Just shed all the skin that makes me well and choke
But I can't get by
I haven't slept in years
If I can just get away from my shadow I'm in the clear
Then it will stop
And it will all go away
I'll be everything I want, everything I wanted to be
I'm outta my mind and outta your sight [x7]
I'm outta my mind
So I just drive
It doesn't matter where
I put my foot to the floor let the wind blow through my hair
I'll never stop
There's nothing for me out there
You drive, no, no, I want you to
Because I've only one thing on my mind
And I don't dare
Don't these bends hold any fear for you?
Well my friends are suddenly all left behind
But I don't care
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know
Just tell me when we get there
You're fast, I have no doubt of it
It's a blast and I would go anywhere with you
Just say
Don't stop, don't even consider it
You're on top and girl that is just where I want you
To stay
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know
Just tell me when we get there
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know
Just tell me when we get there
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know
Just tell me when we get there
If you're driving, I'll go
And I don't care where
In fact I'd rather not know

Who's gonna tell you when

You can't go on, thinkin'

Tonight?
Who's gonna pick you up

Ain't got no cause not a care in the world
Got my eyes on a hot-rod girl
And I'm gonna show her my sleek mean machine
Built on love fueled by gasoline
Drive
We gonna go for a ride
Just drive
We were born to fly
Take down the top we don't need it anymore
Drive this road with the pedal to the floor
We're gonna go for the ride of our lives
It starts right here but it won't end tonight
Drive
We gonna go for a ride
Just drive
We were born to fly
We been traveling this lonely highway
For way, way too long
Come with me on the lovers freeway
And we'll find the love we need
Drive
We gonna go for a ride
Just drive
We don't need a savior to be saved
We only need a clear head and a drive
We walk with our heads high
and make our time worthwhile
People with plans, they are shouting
They intend to be cruel on us all
But now it is time for the living
to be strong
Righteousness teases the static of mind
Control over freedom makes one blind
We sever our minds from the facts that do matter
It's life now
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
That's where you belong
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
I'll drive you all night long
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
There's nothin' you can do
I got you under my wheels now, baby
My heart is comin' through
You'll never go too far or go too fast
Let's rev it up and feel the engine blast
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
I got you under my wheels now, baby
I'm movin' way too fast
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
We've got to make it last
You'll love it when you feel my engine roar
You'll love it when you feel the power soar
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
Drive, drive, drive with me

Get me right, all it takes is silent night

but when it comes it goes
I am on my knees, oh forgive me

With my teasing games

I'de feel no pain, if I was so far away (far away).
I'de feel no pain, as the last train leaves its cage (leaves its cage).
I dream of a place to go, dream of a place to hide.
Just get out and drive away forever, get out and drive away.
I'de feel no pain on an island far away (far away),
From your road rage, and your slow drain, and your human waste.
I dream of a place to go, dream of a place to hide.
Just get out and drive away forever, get out and hide away together,
Forever, drive away forever, together, forever.
I dream of a place to go, dream of a place to hide.
A place that no one knows, sometimes I get out and
Drive away forever, get out and hide away together, forever,
Forever, together.
Get out and drive away, get out and drive away, together,
Forever, forever together.
Voices in my head
Say it's getting light
It's hard to go to bed
When you've been up all night
So as the day slips through the blinds
Don't let us break down
We should be racing from this murder scene
Like jets that cross the sky
Leaving our trails to fade and die
I know we're confused, we've nothing to lose
Let's get in the car and drive, get in the car and drive
Through the twisted streets
With neon in our veins
And in our hearts there beats
The sound of subway trains
I know tomorrow's nearly here
Don't let it stop now
We should be rushing from the burning crash
Like jets that cross the sky
Leaving our trails to fade and die
The dawn's gonna break, we're both still awake
Let's get in the car and drive, get in the car and drive
So grab the keys, forget the trash
We'll take the car, we'll take the cash
And somewhere down the motorway
We'll find a place where we can stay forever
Get in the car and drive
Get in the car and drive
With this long ride home I search for the truth
Candid thoughts display my youth
Frustration Distraction so scared that I cant get out of this
I need to find my way home
What if I fell straight down then broke out of this mess that I've been living in
Could I get back the things youth took from me
There's no ringing on the telephone
When the world expects you to be beautiful
And you cant stand the site of your face in the mirror
We reach for things that turn to dust
I've been in the water to long I started to turn bad
What if I fell straight down
What if I fell straight down
There's ringing on the telephone
There is never anyone home
We'll go where there's lights out
The night's out of starlight anyway
Maybe we'll find out
I'll catch you before you run away
I can feel my heart out loud
Like a radio without a sound
Are you waiting for a new morning
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin
If you're waiting for what might have been
I'll stay awake
You close your eyes
And I'll just drive
Maybe somewhere
There's nowhere better than right now
We are like windows
And jet planes high above the clouds
Like a train of crush of dreams go by
Rain clouds full of you and I
Are you waiting for a new morning
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin
If you're waiting for what might have been
I'll stay awake
You close your eyes
And I'll just drive
I'll stay awake
With you
One more night
With you
One more dream
Come true
Are you waiting for a new morning
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin
If you're waiting for what might have been (And I'll just drive)
Are you waiting for a new morning (And I'll just drive)
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin (And I'll just drive)
If you're waiting for what might have been
I'll stay awake
You close your eyes
Your hands are shaking again
Can you feel it
But inside your awaking the fire within
You feel alive tonight
White knuckle ride of your life
And with everything inside we drive
We drive on
So you think you can run
And you think you can hide
Now you're under the lights
Because tonight we're coming alive again
Open your eyes
It's do or die
Will tone the line or take the wheel and drive
You got once in a lifetime
To stand up and shine
You won't be denied
Will you fall behind or take the wheel and drive
We'll tear down the walls
We're unstoppable
This is where we draw the line
For all the moments in our lives
But the fear would paralyze us all
But this is where we sacrifice
With every second we're alive
And with everything inside we drive
We drive on
So you think you can run
And you think you can hide
Now you're under the lights
Because tonight we're coming alive again
Open your eyes
It's do or die
Will tone the line or take the wheel and drive
You got once in a lifetime
To stand up and shine
You won't be denied
Will you fall behind or take the wheel and drive
We'll tear down the walls
We're unstoppable
Because tonight we're coming alive again
Open your eyes
It's do or die
Will tone the line or take the wheel and drive
You got once in a lifetime
To stand up and shine
You won't be denied
Will you fall behind or take the wheel and drive
We're coming alive again
Open your eyes
It's do or die
Will tone the line or take the wheel and drive
We'll tear down the walls
We're unstoppable
And I wish it was sweeter, the taste of your mouth
Because right now it hurts too much to be
Closer than this and with one hard look
I can tell that you've had enough of these useless sunsets
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
So tell your father that
That you're mine and I'll swear we'll run away
And I'll make a plan and save everyone from themselves
And put them in the ground
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
Sitting in the car with the radio
Turned to static, feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself back in the hole
That you used to sit so comfortably in
Sitting in the car with the radio
Turned to static, feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself back in the hole
That you used to sit so comfortably in
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
This could be a movie, this could be our final act
We don't need these happy endings
Sitting in the car with the radio
Turned to static, feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself back in the hole
That you used to sit so comfortably in
Sitting in the car with the radio
Turned to static, feeling quite tragic
And with one strategic blow
And you find yourself back in the hole
If I don't always seem like I'm ready to talk it out
Nothing wrong but there are some things
You don’t want to know about
Even I've got some secrets that I never want to tell
And there are times when I want and I need to be
somewhere else
Oh when it’s gonna be one of those days
When the world isn’t turning my way
When I can’t find a reason to try
I just get in my car and drive
When I can't make it out of the blues
When I want to step out of my shoes
When I need somewhere private to cry
I just get in my car and drive
Like the sky sometimes I am more lightning than
thundercloud
I'd explain but I don’t know myself
What I'm all about
So when I feel a storm coming on
I drive out of town
Let me go ’cause I don’t want you there
These pictures will go on and never end
I've ripped up the pages and gone through the stages again
So forget this notion, she will be here in the morning
Sickness, falling on family
She will get out of this hospital bed
And I could hear through the ocean's crashing cry
The Autumn calls her name tonite
He could feel the blood in her hands turn cold
As the mirror was broken
A story was told
These pictures will go on and never end
I've ripped up the pages and gone through the stages again
My fortune is failing
I thought I would be the one
The sun is scorching my splinters
She won't come out of this alive
And I could hear through the ocean's crashing cry
The Autumn calls her name tonite
He could feel the blood in her hands turn cold
As the mirror was broken
A story was told
These pictures go on and never end
I've ripped up the pages and gone through the stages again
Routinely fixing her hair
Walking thorugh the empty halls
She'll realize that nobody's there
Hear the Autumn call
I could hear through the ocean's crashing cry
The Autumn calls her name tonite
He could feel the blood in her hands turn cold
As the mirror was broken
A story was told
Routinely fixing her hair
Walking thorugh the empty halls
She'll realize that nobody's there
I know when he's been on your mind
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize
It's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship gets older, older
You know I'd fight for you
But how I can fight someone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
I dont care if that's not fair
because I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you with memories
I feel it in my heart
But I don't show it, show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
Those times I don't believe it's right
I know it, know it
Don't make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you
Now I want the best of you
It's time for show and tell
because I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing
Cause you and I
Could lose it all if you've got no more room
Nowhere inside for me in your life
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
It's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
Nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
Are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
She's a killer, know what I'm talking about?
But I might have been mistaken
Overreacting, come on lets face it
You're so dramatic, you might as well embrace it
She looks so good it hurts, what am I supposed to do?
Oh girl, fa' sure, I would, now I might as well,
Let it go
A broken heart, a broken heart don't feel so bad.
But she looks, she looks so good
Let it go
A broken heart, a broken heart don't feel so bad.
Take a breath, not another word.
But she looks, she looks so good it hurts.
That girl's a killer, I think it's safe to say.
This girl's got me down to survive her.
I can't deny her, come on lets face it,
You're so dramatic, you might as well embrace it.
You're so dramatic, you might as well...
Let it go
A broken heart, a broken heart don't feel so bad.
But she looks, she looks so good.
Let it go
A broken heart, a broken heart don't feel so bad
Take a breath, not another word.
But she looks, she looks so good it hurts.
Take a breath, not another word.
But she looks, she looks so good it hurts.
Take a breath, not another word.
But she looks, she looks so good it hurts.
Take a breath, not another word.
Take a breath, not another.
But she looks so good it hurts
God damn, she really looks so good.
Take a breath, not another word.
But she looks, she looks so good it hurts.
Take a breath, not another word.
But she looks, she looks so good it hurts.
Let it go
A broken heart, a broken heart don't feel so bad
But she looks, she looks so good.
Let it go
A broken heart, a broken heart don't feel so bad
Take a breath, not another word.
But she looks, she looks so good it hurts.
Take a breath, not another word.
Boy you got my heart beating out my chest
Hotter than the bass when I drop it like that
Something like a walk in cardiac arrest
Glad I learned I'm falling for you call the paramedics
Now I notice what I'm doing when I whine
My body they like to keep a brother on the sky
Now I know I know baby you don't mind
By the end of the this song you'll be mine
[Chorus]
Boy don't let me dance alone but, but baby
Don't let the music die
Boy don't let me dance alone but baby
Put your hands in the sky
You could be the fliest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor wrap your arms around my body
So you don't have to dance alone
Cleaner then a old school cherry Cadillac
My red dress hotter than the engine on fire
I'm bouncing up and down, like our dry legs
Energizer bunny got you going high
Now I notice what I'm doing when I whine
My body they like to keep a brother on the sky
Now I know I know baby you don't mind
By the end of the this song you'll be mine
[Chorus]
Boy don't let me dance alone but, but baby
Don't let the music die
Boy don't let me dance alone but baby
Put your hands in the sky
You could be the fliest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor wrap your arms around my body
So you don't have to dance alone
Tell me you don't got a girl you could be my boyfriend
Baby tell me what you say
Let's just keep on dancing
Dancing like my boyfriend
Baby tell me what you say
[Chorus]
Boy don't let me dance alone but, but baby
Don't let the music die
Boy don't let me dance alone but baby
Put your hands in the sky
You could be the fliest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor wrap your arms around my body
She looks in the mirror,
and the seas are swell.
A loser nation makes her starve herself.
The house is on fire,
she threw dishes in the street.
Her body is a prison,
standing on two feet.
[Chorus:]
So breathe again,
your as beautiful as them.
So live again,
and your suffering will end.
She knows everyone in this hospital,
and every step moves closer to her fall.
The movie screens,
All the plays sinking in,
and every modle is a pioson.
[Chorus:]
So breathe again,
your as beautiful as them.
So live again,
and your suffering will end.
Breathe again (your as beautiful as them)
Your hearts harder,(and your suffering will end)
(rainin)
to breathe.
[Chorus:]
So breathe again,
your as beautiful as them.
So live again,
and your suffering will end.
Black and white and overly dramatic
all the colored lights give the people headaches
never could keep inside the lines
i think there's symbolism there
i never was good with goodbyes
that's how i ended up here
half grown up and full of doubt
like poetry never read and rarely thought about
[Chorus:]
think about the days
when everything wasn't the same
and we appreciated snow that fell
and ourselves as much as someone else
it may be a long time gone,
but as long as we go on..
i'll remember crayon-scrawled cards
pasted with all cut out hearts
black and white and overly dramatic
all the colored lights give the people headaches
pulling eyelashes just to wish on them
for something fast and maybe something beyond that
so nevermind the reasons
it's all about the leaving
i wish that i had know
i wish that i had acted
and if you ever find out why
we can't say goodbye
don't forget me,
after summer we won't have that long
always remember
in december the world's in song
so nevermind the leaving
i guess it's all about believeing
we'll clasp hands before i go
maybe something more
but whatever is said,
we'll be glad that we did
before we lose something
we'll go watch the shore again
don't forget me,
after summer we won't have that long
always remember
in december the world's in song
having you here holding your hands
i already miss you
having you hear visiting plans
i already miss you
and if you ever find out why
we can't say goodbye
Having you here, holding your hand
We never mentioned this part.
The first time you asked me to call,
you didn't say you'd stop
hanging out so soon.
And I wish I wasn't such a bore,
you never said it'd be this tough
to forget that you existed
[Chorus:]
So lets get on the highway
and drive through this town
at eighty cause I wanna,
just get away.
I must of missed it when you told me
I'd be up late nights wondering
where was I?
I guess not around
just like you.
[Chorus]
And hopefully someday
we'll find a better answer than maybe
but it's tough to say
I'm making your wish come true,
so I wrote this song about you.
I want you to know the words better than I do.
I want you to sing along,
to every word in this song.
If I wrote them about anyone else
They would sound all wrong.
Every star is a wish,
and every song is a wish come true.
Your poem is in my heart,
too hard to say thank you.
Let's put up a monument
And forget this the best we can
I knew that you would understand.
[Chorus:]
I'm making your wish come true,
so I wrote this song about you.
I want you to know the words better than I do.
I want you to sing along,
to every word in this song.
If I wrote them about anyone else
They would sound all wrong.
Every dream has its night,
and this nights dream is dedicated.
I've tried so many sounds,
to bring two words if you hate it.
Let's open a thousand doors,
and hear the songs we skipped before.
Could you ask for any more?
[Chorus:]
I'm making your wish come true,
so I wrote this song about you.
I want you to know the words better than I do.
I want you to sing along,
to every word in this song.
If I wrote them about anyone else
They would sound all wrong.
I'm beginning to,
understand you.
If i could give the world or buy anything,
you still would want me to sing...
[Chorus:]
I'm making your wish come true,
so I wrote this song about you.
I want you to know the words better than I do.
I want you to sing along,
to every word in this song.
If I wrote them about anyone else
They would sound all wrong.
(they would sound all wrong)
I'm making your wish come true,
so I wrote this song about you.
I want you to know the words better than I do.
I want you to sing along,
I've got so much to say but time is running against me
And everything is spinning around
My mind is set on keeping you here with me
Will you stay or will I forget?
Do you know what it's like?
Trying too say our goodbyes
It's getting harder but I'll keep my mind open, I'm
trying
Why can't we have one more night?
Now I'm regretting our fights
My heart is bleeding and I'm crying, oh baby, I'm dying
I guess now it's over, you're leaving, and I'm thinking
of what I'll miss
I guess now it's over, you're leaving, I wish I could
have one last kiss
I've got so much to say but time is running against me
And everything is spinning around
My mind is set on keeping you here with me
Will you stay or will I forget?
Oh I was living a dream
But now it's harder it seems
I had it all, now the tables have turned and I'm
sighing
We watched the city agleam
Now say bye to our regime
I'll miss you always but one day we'll be here again
I guess now it's over, you're leaving, and I'm thinking
of what I'll miss
I guess now it's over, you're leaving, I wish I could
have one last kiss
I've got so much to say but time is running against me
And everything is spinning around
My mind is set on keeping you here with me
Will you stay or will I forget?
Will I forget...
I've got so much to say but time is running against me
And everything is spinning around
My mind is set on keeping you here with me
Will you stay or...
I've got so much to say but time is running against me
And everything is spinning around
My mind is set on keeping you here with me
Gimme just one minute of my own time
To prepare for our time
A waste of your time
It's as precious as you to die for me
But you've been feeling tired so what now
A few misplaced words and scattered pieces of a song
were never anything to hold someone like me back
But maybe I just can't think right now, right now
I know i will live it tonight and forget about it tomorrow
And I am lonely with all these people around
And I am lonely with all these people around
You sent me off tying bits of thought to my jacket and leading me astray in your eyes.
I looked and i lay my head back as we traveled winding roads
and the air up against the windows, low voices humming sent me home
well i dreamed i was awake and woke up in a dream, stumbling out of the car
Maybe i just cant think right now, right now
I know i will live it tonight and forget about it tomorrow
And I am lonely with all these people around
And I am lonely, and I am lonely
And maybe you think that my lips lied
But I hope you never cried for me
Maybe between the broken pieces of us we can share one heart
Yeah we can share one heart
Maybe i just cant think right now, right now
I know i will live it tonight and forget about it tomorrow
And I am lonely with all these people around
And I am lonely, and I am lonely
I am lonely
I am lonely
I am lonely, yeah
I am lonely, I am lonely, I am lonely, I am lonely, I am lonely, I am lonely
kind of unsure
she pushes herself in the street
she rolls by me
and our eyes meet
its love at first site
ill be with her tonite
shes the girl for me
through Boston on the T
shes a skateboard chick
i cant do an ollie or a kick
but that's why she doesn't care
since we met
we've never been
in love
shes been skateboarding
through my heart
shell never go for a guy like me
shes with ???
shes the girl for me
into Boston on the T
shes a skateboard chick
i cant do an ollie or a kick
but that's why she doesn't care
she's my, my skateboard chick
she's my, my skateboard chick
Sitting in this sweatshirt you wore, smelling of you
Might be as close as I get to being in your shoes
It seems everyone is in constant disrepair
Tectonic plates beneath our skin
Send earthquakes through our heads
"Work with this fine gentleman, he'll take you places"
But that's what I'm afraid of: losing familiar faces
Not losing face, cuz let's face it
Who you are is who you are
And no one can replace it
But I know how she feels
I'm the only one there and I'm not even there
And I don't want to be her worst regret
And I don't want her to forget how much she means
Sitting in this sweatshirt you wore, smelling of you
Might be as close as I get to being in your shoes
But sitting by my bedside, and writing on this page
Won't be as close as I get to saying to your face
I know how you feel
I'm the only one there and I'm not even there
And I don't want to be your worst regret
And I don't want you to forget how much you mean
I know how she feels
I'm the only one there and I'm not even there
And I don't want to be your worst regret
And I don't want you to forget how much you mean
I know how she feels
I'm the only one there and I'm not even there
And I don't want to be your worst regret
"I'm never going to cry again"
It was the first lie that she told me
But what could i say except
"I wish you never had to in the first place"?
And even though you feel small and scared
I hope you know I need you more than air
She fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch
And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied
I cannot save her
She wonders what she has to do
To make all her trying worth somethign to
All those frowning "strangers" that somehow know her name
And all those silent partners who'd never take the blame
But I guess one finger is easier than five to say goodbye
Cuz she fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch
And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied
I cannot
Cuz she fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch
And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied
I cannot save her
She swore she'd never cry again
She swore she'd never cry again
She swore she'd never cry again
Cuz she fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch
And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied
I cannot
Cuz she fights a losing battle that I can't even bear to watch
And I'd tear out my eyes (but) my hands are tied
Won't it be a lonely life for you
When you wallpaper rooms with IOU
receipts given to all your friends?
When things are so thick you can't not trip over their bodies
Knives deep in them so you can really only see the end?
You can't see the end?
Won't it be a lonely life for you
When you wallpaper rooms with IOU
receipts given to all your friends?
When things are so thick you can't not trip over their bodies
Knives deep in them so you can really only see the end?
You can't see the end?
Don't turn around
I won't be there
It's hard for me to catch someone who's let me fall
The seasons change
Your reasons change
Did you ever really care at all?
Oh my how dark the sky gets
It doesn't fall fast
But it falls hard, this night
When Summer calls your name
But you hear,
"Whisper whisper
Kill him quick before he kills you!
Whisper whisper
Kill him quick!"
Don't turn around
I won't be there
It's hard for me to catch someone who's let me fall
The seasons change
Your reasons change
Did you ever really care at all?
Just because you have opinions doesn't mean that you're smart
And just because you think you're better doesn't mean that you are
Don't turn around
I won't be there
It's hard for me to catch someone who's let me fall
The seasons change
Your reasons change
Did you ever really care at all?
Don't turn around
I won't be there
It's hard for me to catch someone who's let me fall
The seasons change
Your reasons change
Did you ever really care at all?
Just because
And just because you think you're better
Just because
more to do
in a lot less time
i could have bought some
but "never-a-dime" doesn't help
i turned to crime,
what seemed the only option,
the adoption of a plan put in effect:
to pillage minutes
why waste it?
[Chorus:]
freedom:
not unlike glass cielings
unfun:
all that i am feeling
rewind, cause we never had the time
i won't sit down
i'm not following through
some would assert that i don't care about my future
what motivates you?
more to do
in a lot less time
i could have bought some
but "never-a-dime",
it doesn't help
[Chorus]
they said "it's alright,"
and they told me
that they were good liars.
what motivates you?
don't say "i don't care."
coming up empty again.
So when were you going to let it fall from your lips?
Over wires I hear that I've been killing you for weeks
I say "sorry"
It's all that I can do
Cuz my moments with you are what keep me going
So wrap your arms around my neck
And let's forget that I'm not your best bet
If you need me, I'll be lying in Washington Street
Face down, so I'm harder to scrape off the ground
Don't worry about me
I'm just "fine" like always
It will be harder now, after such a fallout,
To hold your hand without feeling like I am crushing it
Under the weight of my busy life and my lack of time
So wrap your arms around my neck
And let's forget that I'm not your best bet
If you need me, I'll be lying in Washington Street
Face down, so I'm harder to scrape off the ground
Don't worry about me
I'm just "fine" like always
Fine like always
I will do the best that I can
And that's all that you ask
When you are cold
I'll swim in kerosene and light a match
So wrap your arms around my neck
And let's forget that I'm not your best bet
If you need me, I'll be lying in Washington Street
Face down, so I'm harder to scrape off the ground
Don't worry about me
This house of cards is vacant
Maybe we can get a room
Cuz you know it'll all come tumbling down next year
We're all in this together
Cuz we've all seen better days
If it stays like this forever
We'll try anyway
Waiting for light
Waiting for strength to bring me back home
Longing for answers and losing my hope and I'm not alone
This highway lasts for hours
Counting exits in my sleep
And we know they dont even go to anywhere
If we're all in this together
Where are the better days?
If it stays like this forever
We tried anyway
Waiting for light
Waiting for strength to bring me back home
I'm longing for answers and losing my hope and I'm not alone
These sheets are pressed with poison
I will never get to rest
If i close my eyes its now or our first night
If we're all in this together
We'll see the better days
If we don't give up forever
Then we'll find a way
Waiting for light
I'm waiting for strength to bring me back home
Longing for answers and losing my hope and I'm not alone
Waiting for light
I'm waiting for strength to bring me back home
I still remember
your hands against the wheel
The burning rubber
The melting steel
The twilight veil on your face,
dreamlike and unreal
The moonlit highway
paved with stardust
The steamy windows
covered with lust
I'd do it all again
and so would you,
I trust
Let's take a ride, love
The night is still young
We could drive straight to
oblivion
and make really happy
all the slanderous tongues
Take me all the way
'til we rise above
the dreary fields of hate,
the winding streets of love
'Til we rise above
Grab the steering wheel
Who's gonna tell you when,
It's too late,
Who's gonna tell you things,
Aren't so great.
You cant go on, thinkin',
Nothings' wrong, but bye,
Who's gonna drive you home,
tonight.?
Who's gonna pick you up,
When You fall?
Who's gonna hang it up,
When you call?
Who's gonna pay attention,
To your dreams?
And who's gonna plug their ears,
When you scream?
You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothings wrong, but bye,
(who's gonna drive you)
(who's gonna drive you)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who's gonna drive you home)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
Who's gonna hold you down,
When you shake?
Who's gonna come around,
When you break?
You can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong, but bye,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(who's gonna drive you)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who's gonna drive you home)
Oh, you know you can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(Who's gonna drive you home)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
Through the rain you come stones in the road
You're a champion from another world
Eat yourself fitter, better stay strong
You're the only one knows how to turn it on
Wash the stains away with alcohol
Reach my memory making virgin snow
I want to remember how it use to be
When I knew the sharks that were in my sea
Caught in a landslide
Feels the earth is not on my side
Caught in a landslide
Better get in my car and drive
There was once a house where my home used to be
Then a storm came took it all from me
And now the animals have been displaced
I don't know where they are, don't know if they are safe
Caught in a landslide
Feels the earth is not on my side
Caught in a landslide
Better get in my car and drive
Better get in my car and drive
Don't wanna be more dead than alive
She says, baby I don't wanna be more dead than alive
Alive, alive she said
Through the rain you come
Caught in a landslide
Feels the earth is not on my side
Caught in a landslide
Better get in my car and drive
Caught in a landslide
Caught in a landslide
Caught in a landslide
Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call
Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams
Who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who's gonna come around
When you break
We stood there, by your front door
And I felt stupid when you said
I think I need some time
I was hoping that we could talk about it
Why you feel like you've been missing out
But then you went inside
I thought I could get over you
But as I pulled away
I looked around my car...no way
Because your cigarettes are in my back seat
And I can't get very far listening to the CD mix you made me
There's your lipstick on my floorboard
Your footprints on the dashboard
You're everywhere but by my side
And I can't drive
Now I'm passing all the places
That we used to go like the road
We used to make out on
And that girl's house
Who threw the party
Where we finished all the alcohol
And passed out on the lawn
Now I'm staring at my phone
Afraid in the unknown
It's hard to just let go...when your
Cigarettes are in my back seat
And I can't get very far listening to the CD mix you made me
There's your lipstick on my floorboard
Your footprints on the dashboard
You're everywhere but by my side
And I can't drive
And my video camera
Holds all the memories
I wish we could rewind
But your cigarettes are in my back seat
And I can't get very far listening to the CD mix you made me
I can't drive
Your cigarettes are in my back seat
Your footprints on the dashboard
You're everywhere...everywhere
And I can't drive
In my head
I am already gone
Side roads pointed up
Decisions decided on
But in my nights
There are restless hours
3 AM goes down
Nothing else comes up
And the only thing we know
Is it's getting dark and we better go
And the only thing we say
Are the despairs of the day
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep, my brothers
I'm alright to drive
But in my heart
I'm the weary kind
I'm much too tired to cry
Though it's sad enough for tears
It's been dropping dry for years
When the next year comes along
I don't know if I'll be home
I don't know if we'll survive
And the only thing we know
Is it's getting dark and we better go
And the only thing we say
Are the despairs of the day
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep, my brothers
I'm alright to drive
And we're much too young of men
To carry such heavy heads
And tonight for the first time
It felt good to be alive
And we're much too young of men
To carry such heavy heads
And tonight for the first time
It felt good to be alive again, my friend
The only thing we know
Is it's getting dark and we better go
And the only thing we say
Are the despairs of the day
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep, my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep, my brothers
I'm alright to drive
[Chorus:]
How we drivin' in this life full of strife curves
Might swerve
Motives and ambition take a turn for the worst
Rubberneckers watch yours
[Mortisabstract:]
Yo, I fly the coop elude dreaded blues of the boob-tube
I live in my civic and it ports me to dreams of intrinsic things
See my car's a safe haven from 80 sinister thoughts a day
Don't let dishonesty steer the wheel
Peeling out with doubt
Led by simpleton's navigation
Their puny prerogatives off a bit
Off center
Off to litter lectures out of automobiles they use as lecterns
You shine little light with your first quarter moon crescent
Me and 202 beam with crazy sunshine mentality on fallacy vamps, man
Be careful of what you're driven by
Heed all yellow signs
Before your carriage morphs to pumpkin
Some are driven by assumption
Some are driven by their hunger
Some are driven by the need
Some are driven by the seed
Some are driven, some are not
Some live just to stop traffic
Just (just) honk!
[Chorus]
[202:]
Driven with the force of two monsoons
My ambition gets visions in the suns light
And stay bright like a full moon
Cut through motorists' by the billions
Unmoved us two
Are forced to pull you
Road signs are clear but do not see through
I live a little different weather you're gettin' it
'cause times are short for what we fight for
Trust slow
Bust and grow
But before I go
"oh no" I don't take directions from lost souls
Blind leading the blind with white poles
By far mine is nascar
Yeah bro
I drive bro
Deep rooted where I'm moving like I'm on some hydro's
Let's go
Drive
Who’s gonna tell you when it’s too late
Who’s gonna tell you things aren’t so great
You can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight
Who’s gonna pick you up when you fall
Who’s gonna hang it up when you call
Who’s gonna pay attention to your dreams
Who’s gonna plug their ears when you scream
You can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight
Who’s gonna hold you down when you shake
Who’s gonna come around when you break
You can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight
You can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong
Look at the world
Can you feel the wind stop breathing?
The empty streets
In my window no one stays
Cuz I can't give myself away
So turn me on and drive me to waist
You can't hire me today
I feel like burning again
Keep up the work
In my window no one's hurt
The clouds look strange
In my window no one stays
Cuz I can't give myself away
So turn me on and drive me to waist
You can't hire me today
I feel like burning again
Cuz I can't give myself the days
The days we had, people, they change
I guess I'll still remain the same
I feel like burning again
Cuz I can't give myself away
So turn me on and drive me to waist
You can't hire me today
I feel like burning again
Cuz I can't give myself the days
The days we had, people, they change
I guess I'll still remain the same
I drive I get in my car and I go
Oh oh, now I'm on the freeway
Some people tell me I should slow down
But everytime I try I just lose it
Feels like I'm in a movie with no sound
Just music
Roll the dice if you don't mind to
Wait around and see
But waitin around just ain't like me
So I drive, get in my car, fast as I can
And I ain't stopping for the red lights
I know what I want, I know who I am
And if I want it I get it so don't forget it
You take your time, I take what's mine
You make your mind, I make my life
And now I drive as fast as I want
And I never slow down
Tryna keep my head but I don't know
If there's a drug that's worse than fame
Addicted to the lights and the big show
Got me livin in the fast lane
So many places that I've gone I never even see
Through the windows of my technicolor dream
So I drive, get in my car, fast as I can
And I ain't stopping for the red lights
I know what I want, you know who I am
And if I said it or did it I don't regret it
You take your time, I take what's mine
You make your mind, I make my life
And now I drive as fast as I want
And I never slow down
I do it for the love, I do it for the ladies
They love this in the club cause my beats is just so 80's
Japanese girls say that they wanna have my babies
And haters getting mad cause radio finally play me
I just do it for the lights, I just do it for the crowd
I just do it for the noise, when I do I do it loud
Do it till you get enough, till you say you had to much
I ain't never gonna stop, I ain't never slowing down when I drive
I drive I get in my car and I go
Oh oh, now I'm on the freeway
I don't care if you tell me to stop

Bigger more powerful
And yet nobody knows
Let's not forget to discuss
All of the freeloads
Here is the car you drive
The window is open wide
Many nice folks suggest
That we go for a drive
Time doesn't know
What its time for us all to know
I like a yellow shirt
And I like orange shades
I like your green suede shoes
And all the sweaters you made
Here is the car you drive
The window is open wide
Many nice folks suggest
That we go for a drive
Time doesn't know
What its time for us all to know
Escape from the crowd
Escape from the dark
Escape from East Berlin
Escape from the planet Earth
Escape from the Planet of the Apes
Here is the car you drive
The window is open wide
Many nice folks suggest
That we go for a drive
Time doesn't know
What its time for us all to know
We don't know nothing, nobody
Pump up the demon i’m inhaling my virtue
viewer discretion the intent is to groove you
ride the wavelength shake the foundation
total chaos makes pain recreation
point the weapon in any direction
blood pounding circuits acceleration
can you taste it
can you touch it
do you need it
do you feel it
drive
can you taste it
can you touch it
do you need it
do you feel it
drive
push out the power break out the hardware
convert the madness won’t you take us there
smoke the rhythm overloading the freak show
i got nothin' better to do but drive
go past the fields and drive
i leave it all behind and drive
goin' nowhere but for a drive
and i drive, and i drive...all night
cops pull me over when i drive
says you're lucky to be alive the way you drive
i tell him it feels good when i drive
he gives me a ticket and i drive
and i drive, and i drive...all night
i put my arm out the window when i drive
maybe i get really high when i drive
the stars all follow me when i drive
the tree all blur when i drive
I wanna live like James Dean
I wanna die a superstar
I wanna ride like Christine
I wanna drive the devil's car
I wanna live like James Dean
I wanna die a superstar
I wanna car like Christine
I wanna ride!
Like a timb bomb ticking
This town has got me tripping
and I know it's my time to fly
So I'll cruise with the moon
and I'll listen for the boom
when her thunder and the night collide
I don't know what I'll find
but I know what I've seen
a broken home ain't a place to be
So I'm leaving all I know
to hit the open road
I'll drive until I'm free
Drive
I'll spread my wings and fly
Drive
Let the sunset fill my eyes
Drive
I'll ride until I'm free
Drive
as I say goodbye yesterday
In the dead of night
We light the candles
In the loneliest shrine
Cue the chorus line
Hide my heartbreak
In the rhythm and rhyme
We just drive
Until our cars collide
We just drive drive drive
Back when the night was ours
Before it left with stars
When we were animals
Two hearts racing
Alone and waiting
Two hearts breaking apart
This ending has no start
We just drive
Until our cars collide
We just drive
In search for signs of life
We just drive drive drive
Oh Father I have sinned
Please forgive me
But it's far too late to right the wrongs I've done
Hold my head under the holy water
Heal this troubled son
Heal this troubled son
We just drive
Until our cars collide
We just drive, drive, drive
In search for signs of life
To feel alive
We just drive
Oh oh oh oh oh
There's nothing left to loose
Oh oh oh oh oh
We'll drive on forever
There's nothing left to loose
Searching for each other
In my head I am already gone
Side roads boarded up, decisions decided on
But in my nights there are restless hours
When 3 AM comes down and nothing else comes up
And the only thing we know
Is it's getting dark and we'd better go
And the only thing we see
Are the despairs of the day
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep my brothers, I'm all right to drive
And in my heart I'm the weary kind
I'm much tired to cry
Though it's sad enough for tears
It's been try, fail, try for years
And when the next year comes along
I don't know if I'll be home
I don't know if we'll survive
And the only thing we know
Is it's getting dark and we'd better go
And the only thing we see
Are the despairs of the day
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep my brothers, I'm all right to drive
And we're much too young of men
To carry such heavy heads
And tonight for the first time
It felt good to be alive
Yeah, we're much too young of men
To carry such heavy heads
And tonight for the first time
It felt good to be alive again, my friend
Only thing we know
It's getting dark and we'd better go
And the only thing we see
Are the despairs of the day
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Go to sleep my brothers, I
And if you're too tired
Driving by your house, but you don't live here now
It's not even on my way, But I wanted think on how
It felt to walk this road, all the years before
We were hardened to it all
Driving by the park, we loved when we were young
Before you turned so strange, oh where have you gone
I walked you down this road, only years before
We were hardened to it all
Hardened to it all
Hardened to it all
We are
Jamie moved away, grew up and got a job
I've seen him now and then
He says he's happy but he's not
He's still the boy he was, only years before
We were hardened to it all
Hardened to it all
All you can never hope to change, because the fight is so unclean
All you defeatists raise your hands, and grease the old machine
Until you're hardened to it all
We are
Not dead
Driving by your house, but you don't live here now
It's not even on my way, but I wanted to think on how
It felt to walk this road, all years before
We were hardened to it all
Hardened to it all
All you can never hope to change, because the fight is so unclean
All you defeatists raise your hands, and grease the old machine
Until you're hardened to it all
Like all the grayest little men, remember all they used to be
If this is all we ever have, well it was good enough for me
Come on, defeatists raise your hands, and grease the old machine
Until you're hardened to it all
Oooh... Oooh...
Headed out into my desert
all alone and thirsty for something more
than the whiskey that had become my water
Would you mind if I put this on your shoulder?
I need something more
Here I am,
standing inside your love like a child.
Falling asleep at the wheel of my life
and letting you drive.
I'm letting you drive.
Oooh...
Headed out into my dark night,
like a soldier surrounded in the losing fight.
Probability of a victory's over.
Would you mind if I put this on your shoulder?
I need something more
Here I am,
standing inside your love like a child.
Falling asleep at the wheel of my life
and letting you drive.
I'm letting you drive.
Oooh...
You're the only one,
You're the only one who can save me.
I need something more
Here I am,
standing inside your love like a child.
Falling asleep at the wheel of my life
and letting you drive.
I'm letting you drive.
Here I am,
right where I belong.
On the shoulder, hanging off the keys,
close my eyes and letting you drive
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
That's where you belong
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
I'll drive you all night long
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
There's nothing you can do
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
My heart is coming through
You'll never go too far or go too fast
Let's rev it up and feel the engine blast
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
You're moving way too fast
I've got you under my wheels now, baby
We've got to make it last
You'll love it when you feel my engine roar
You'll love it when you feel the power soar
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free (drivin' all night long)
Drive, drive, drive with me
The road will set us free (drivin' all night long)
Let's crank it up and drive this heavy load
It's time to rock, come on, let's hit the road
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
Drive, drive, drive with me
The road will set us free (drivin' all night long)
Drive, drive, drive with me (keep drivin' all night long)
Our love will set us free (keep drivin' all night long)
Drive, drive, drive with me (keep drivin' all night long)
The road will set us free (keep drivin' all night long)
Drive, drive, drive with me (keep drivin' all night long)
Our love will set us free (keep drivin' all night long)
Drive, drive, drive with me (keep drivin' all night long)
The road will set us free (keep drivin' all night long)
Drive, drive, drive with me (keep drivin' all night long)
Down down the backstreet
And you know I can't stop searching
I'm running from the nightmares
But I just can't stop the hurting
I feel like a loser
'Cause you won't god forgive me
I'll show I'm only human
Face the long dark road alone
I want love I can't resist you
I cannot lose what I'm not gonna have
Night driving on a motorway
I'm alive, I'm alive
Another endless evening
Chasing shadows in the darkness
Impossible to silence
Have to face myself alone
I want love I can't resist you
I cannot lose what I'm not gonna have
Night driving on a motorway
I'm alive, I'm alive
I want love I can't resist you
I cannot lose what I'm not gonna have
White lines on a motorway
I'm alive, I'm alive
Drive, drive to feel I'm alive
Drive, drive to keep me alive
Drive, drive to feel I'm alive
Drive, drive to keep me alive
Drive, drive to feel I'm alive
Drive, drive to keep me alive
Drive, drive to feel I'm alive
Drive, drive to keep me alive
I want love I can't resist you
I cannot lose what I'm not gonna have
Night driving on a motorway
I'm alive, I'm alive
I want love I can't resist you
I cannot lose what I'm not gonna have
White lines on a motorway
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
Driving through the endless night
Guiding me your blinding light
Driving through the endless night
Guiding me your blinding light
Fight the pain, fight the pain
Fight the pain, fight the pain
It's in my soul, behind the wheel
Don't let go, don't let go
Fight the pain, fight the pain
Fight the pain, fight the pain
I don't care if it's a highway or a dirty county road
I don't care if I'm leaving or coming home
I don't know if it's the song on that too loud radio
I don't know if it's the smell of that burning smoke, here I go
Headed out to nowhere like a bullet from a gun
Putting miles on me and the wheels I'm rollin' on
Slide on over, baby and I'll take you for a ride
I just like to drive, well, I just like to drive
Well, I love to feel my worn out boots stompin' on the gas
Love to see your bare feet tappin' on the dash
Love to see your hand, girl, swinging in the breeze
And I'm done burning up a tank of gasoline, smells so sweet
Headed out to nowhere like a bullet from a gun
Putting miles on me and the wheels I'm rollin' on
Slide on over, baby and I'll take you for a ride
I just like to drive, well, I just like to drive
Headed out to nowhere like a bullet from the gun
Putting miles on me and the wheels I'm rolling on
Slide on over, baby and I'll take you for a ride
I just like to drive, well, I just like to drive
Who's gonna tell you when,
It's too late,
Who's gonna tell you things,
Aren't so great.
You cant go on, thinkin',
Nothings' wrong, but bye,
Who's gonna drive you home,
tonight.?
Who's gonna pick you up,
When You fall?
Who's gonna hang it up,
When you call?
Who's gonna pay attention,
To your dreams?
And who's gonna plug their ears,
When you scream?
You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothings wrong, but bye,
(who's gonna drive you)
(who's gonna drive you)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who's gonna drive you home)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
Who's gonna hold you down,
When you shake?
Who's gonna come around,
When you break?
You can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong, but bye,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(who's gonna drive you)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(who's gonna drive you home)
Oh, you know you can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong,
(Who's gonna drive you)
(Who's gonna drive you home)
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?
(bye baby)
(bye baby)
C'mon, ma, can I borrow the keys?
My generation is carpooling with doom and disease
Buckle up, skipper
The new american Asterix
You're riding shotty with Jesus of Nascar-eth
At the end of the day, we all sittin' on 24s
365 horses, no horseshit
with nothing but a learner's permit
Delinquents on the autobahn poppin' our airbags off the worthless
I'm not depressed, man
I'm just a fucking New Yorker
Who knows that sittin' in traffic with these bastards is torture
I'll be in a jalopy with a mami getting head rest
And howl at the glowing moon roof as proof that I'm not dead yet
And y'all can all give me the hummer
'Cause in the meantime, I'ma pimp this ride like fly formula one-er
This is the El-Product summer
With a gleam of factory gun metal sheen grey and no vin number
[Chorus:]
Drive, Drive, Drive
Hopped in the hooptie screaming "freedom is mine!"
Drive, Drive, Drive, Drive
Bumpin' the tune I so conveniently provide
Drive, Drive, Drive, Drive, Drive
Don't have to be flashy, I'll use any old ride
Drive, Drive, Drive, Drive
Hop in the whip and peel away, stay alive
Cars slide by with the bomming system
Like New York is Fallujah with metal gear using christians
Posted up for the gods of oil mining
In a military humvee with no bullet proof siding (sorry, guys)
Brooklyn, baby
I'm waterlocked walkin' nervous
When the curfew was imposed closing transportational service
This gonzomatic fear turns me Hunter S. Thompson
With my lawyer leaning over the side view mirror vomiting
You call 'em windows, I call 'em asbestos lesseners
For this wheezing in my chest I'll need more than fucking air fresheners
There ain't no easy pass
Hands on the dash
You'll get rocked in casba if the movement's too fast
Here come the cannon balls, run
Get in your gremlin
The days of thunder's creepin' up sooner than you expected
Paranoid brethren disable their onstar knowing they'll trace us
Pull us over and shout "get out le car!"
[Chorus]
These thugs got the heart of Herbie the Luv Bug
It don't take a speed racing mind to see that they're just stuck
I'll wrap your promo truck with a nambla stencil to prove that you're fucking babies
Frontin' up in a rental
I knew a kid who navigated it slippery
And fuel injected a speed ball on hs way to Atlantic City
Out the race before even making his mark
And now he'll never pick his shit up out of long term parking
My triple A card has one too many initials
And autobot on the fringe of liquid addiction spinning fish-tails
About to careen on some toonces shit off the cliff
But love of the sport of racing is keeping me out of coffins
Camu was like "Fuck it, just keep the beats dirty dusty"
I grabbed the CD radio like "10/4 good buddy"
I'll keep running the track
Even when muddy
'Cause my insurance don't cover leaving the pit crew that love me
So I drive
