I Go Driving

When I go driving down the roads I know by heart
When I go driving I feel better in the dark
In the light it hurts too much to see what isn’t there today
In the dark I can pretend that I’m ok
As I’m riding I sing songs I know by heart
As I’m riding I love every single part
Of Good Ole Boys Like Me
Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain
Is it wrong that I find pleasure in the pain?

See I’m travelin’ back in time to a land of make believe
Where the farms are going strong and my father’s still with me
Where the silos in the shadows and the barns are full of feed
Where there’s hope in farmers’ eyes and folks who know their needs
When I go driving

As I’m dreaming, going down those country lanes
Yes, I’m dreaming, thinking things can be the same
I’m looking at the past; I’m trying not to stare
Reaching for a life that isn’t there

See I’m traveling back in time to a land of make believe
Where the farms are going strong and my father’s still with me
Where the silos in the shadows and the barns are full of feed
Where there’s hope in farmer’s eyes and folks who know their needs
When I go driving
When I go driving
When I go driving
