I’ve been out on that open road You can be my full time daddy White and gold Singing blues has been getting old You can be my full time baby Hot or cold
Don’t break me down (Break me down, break me down) I’ve been travelin’ too long (Too long, too long) I’ve been trying too hard With one pretty song (hmm)
I hear the birds on the summer breeze I drive fast, I am alone at midnight Been tryin’ hard not to get into trouble But I, I’ve got a war in my mind So, I just drive, just drive I just drive, just drive
Dying young and I’m playing hard That’s the way my father made his life an art Drink all day and we talk till dark That’s the way the road dogs do it, light till dark
Don’t leave me now (Me now, me now) Don’t say goodbye (Goodbye, goodbye) Don’t turn around Leave me high and dry (hmm)
I hear the birds on the summer breeze I drive fast, I am alone at midnight Been tryin’ hard not to get into trouble But I, I’ve got a war in my mind I just drive, just drive I just drive, just drive
You think our love would feel all different, not tonight You think our love would fill in that drink again You think our love would transform into the man God meant to make when he began
Hear the birds on the summer breeze I drive fast, I am alone at midnight Been trying hard not to get into trouble But I, I’ve got a war in my mind I just drive, just drive I just drive, just drive
