You close the door and start the motor
I roll 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 thinking
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, driv e
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 tears and clothes
I'm smiling on the surface
I'm scared as hell below
And the rear view could picture
What we leave b ehind
Drive darling, drive darling,
Drive darling, drive da rling, dri ve
Good m orning freedom
Good night lul labies
Drive darling, drive darling,
Drive darling, drive da rling, driv e
And when we ar rive
The hardest of g oodbyes
You will dry my ey es
So mehow you're always by my side
The one who holds my k ite
And watches over all my fl ights
Drive darling, drive darling,
Drive darling, drive da rling, dri ve
Good morning freedom
Good night lullab ies
Drive darling, drive darling,
Drive darling, drive da rling, dri ve
Drive darling, drive darling,
Drive darling, drive da rling, dri ve
