Drive On

LETRA

Drive On

I keep telling myself this is the right thing to do
I was wasting their time waiting on dreams that just weren’t coming true
And this old highway seems to understand
Leading me on to somewhere where no-one knows my name
I got the window rolled down, got the radio up
I’m doing all I can to get my mind of us

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our home town
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn’t be so hard
But I drive on and on and on

Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rouge
There’s a buddy of mine, he said he might find some work that I can do
Maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
I know my baby sister has got a couch where I can sleep
Now the sun’s going down on my broken heart
Lord, I gotta get back before I go too far

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our home town
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn’t be so hard
But I drive on, yes I drive on and on and on

Knowing what I need to do
Girl, I’m coming home to you
Knowing what I need to do
Girl, I’m coming home to you
I’m coming home to you
Knowing what I need to do
