Drive

Drive

Here I am in the middle of this godforsaken road
A little left is suicide and right well I don’t know
I keep my hands in front of me and my eyes on the centre line
Stay on this highway till the gaslight says it’s time

I don’t know where I’m going - it’s not that I don’t care
To forget where I’m coming from I’d go anywhere
Lights out in front of me obscure the view behind
Stay on this highway till my memory’s eye goes blind

I’m gonna drive, I’m going drive
I’m gonna fly low beneath the wire
I’m gonna rove on till last road ends
I’m gonna drive ‘til I lose him

Not twenty-seven years and a hundred years too old
Nothing could ever make that lonely house a home
Lying and crying to myself behind the blinds
Here on this highway I can finally see the light

Mistakes and promises - the legacy rolls on
A father’s sins come hidden deep within the son
No resolution can defeat the truth inside
But here on this highway I can tell myself I tried

I’m gonna drive, I’m going drive
I’m gonna fly low beneath the wire
I’m gonna rove on till last road ends
I’m gonna drive ‘til I lose him

You look so good to me a little closer if you please
It’s been about forever since I felt a gentle breeze
I walked the hot coals and my feet still bear the burns
It took forever but I think I’ve finally learned

I’m gonna drive, I’m going drive
I’m gonna fly low beneath the wire
I’m gonna rove on till last road ends
I’m gonna drive ‘til I lose him
