Drive

Your lust for life’s too big for this town

Childhood friends have all settled down

Making small-talk about sensible dreams

You take the wheel and you take a long breath

Staying here would mean a long, slow death

You’re the rebel in your family

Truth is a distant sound

A new day calls and you’re ready and bound

You, a lone traveler

You, a new unraveller

The road awaits, so drive

All your life, you’ve walked a straight line

But God gave you these two points in time

And you’ve gotta have some say in between

You take the wheel and you turn the key

Make sure your mom and dad don’t see

Your tears in the mirror

Truth is a distant sound

A new day calls, you’re still ready and bound

You, a lone traveler

You, a new unraveller

The road awaits, so drive

                                                                                     

You were born to move

Too curious and fine-tuned to turn a blind eye

There’s no prize for standing still

So go and feel the thrill of being alive

The road awaits, so drive
