Drive Darling

You close the door and start the motor

I rolled the window down

I raise my hand and wave goodbye

To neighborhood queens and clowns

And children in the front yards

They hide and seek and laugh

I can almost hear you thinkin'

How could these days go by so fast?

And the rear view could picture

What we leave behind

Drive darling, drive darling

Drive darling, drive darling, drive

A silent conversation

No words 'cause there's no need

We let the tapes mix up the years

And press repeat and press repeat

The trunk is filled with records

And books and chairs and clothes

I'm smilin' on the surface

I'm scared as hell below

And the rear view could picture

What we leave behind

Drive darling, drive darling

Drive darling, drive darling, drive

Good mornin', freedom

Good night, lullabie-ie-ies

Drive darling, drive darling

Drive darling, drive darling, drive

And when we arrive

The hardest of goodbyes

That you will dry my eyes

Somehow, you're always by my side

The one who holds my kite

And watches over all my flights

Once, once that we arrive

The hardest of goodbyes

That you will dry my eyes

Somehow, you're always by my side

The one who holds my kite

And watches over all my flights

No rear view could picture

What we leave behind

Drive darling, drive darling

Drive darling, drive darling, drive
