Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We kept apart and connected by the same stretch of road

Neglected the truth and refused to grow old

It started a stream, but then the levee fell

When the rain maker had some extra seeds to sell

[Verse 2]

I just wanna drink till I'm not thirsty

I just wanna sleep till I'm not tired

I just wanna drive till I run out of highway

Into the purple sky, oh, yeah

[Verse 3]

I just thought I'd call to see what's goin' on

Did the hills all flatten out since I've been gone?

Are the fields all painted up in red and blue?

Are you thinkin' of me the times I'm thinkin' of you?

[Verse 4]

I just wanna drink till I'm not thirsty

I just wanna sleep till I'm not tired

I just wanna drive till I run out of highway

Into the purple sky

[Verse 5]

But if I'm gonna live until I'm 50

I'm gonna need you by my side

'Cause I don't wanna dance without you with me

Into the purple sky

[Verse 6]

Livin' like a soulless pirate somewhere lost at sea

Wonderin', if I ever make it home

Will you come back to me?

Oh, yeah

[Verse 7]

Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous?

I'm back in town and I got nothin' to do

We could drive all day with the top let down

We could stay in tonight or we could wreck this town

[Verse 8]

I just wanna drink till I'm not thirsty

I just wanna sleep till I'm not tired

I just wanna drive till I run out of highway

Into the purple sky

[Verse 9]

But if I'm gonna live until I'm 50

I'm gonna need you by my side

'Cause I don't wanna dance without you with me

Into the purple sky, oh, yeah

[Verse 10]

(Uh-huh, uh-huh)

(Uh-huh, huh, huh)

Into the purple sky

(Uh-huh, uh-huh)

(Uh-huh, huh, huh)

Into the purple sky

[Verse 11]

(Uh-huh, uh-huh)

(Uh-huh, huh, huh)

Into the purple sky

(Uh-huh, uh-huh)

(Uh-huh, huh, huh)

Yeah
