"Drive" lyrics - HAYES CARLL

HAYES CARLL
"Drive"
(Hayes Carll / Jim Lauderdale)

Drive and drive
Don't you ever sleep
Calling out the exits signs like promises to keep
Yeah, promises to keep
Shooting star racing through the night
Long as you keep moving you won't ever die
No, you won't ever die

[Chorus:]
Further along
And down the road
Burning up your life
Oh, it's some place else to go
Just drive, drive, drive

Round and round, that Colorado town
Like a mustang in the mountains
You're too wild to settle down
Sing your songs, throw your hammer in the air
Burning both ends of that candle
And pretend you don't care
Pretend that you don't care

[Chorus:]
Further along
And down the road
Burning up your life
Oh, it's some place else to go
Just drive, drive, drive

[Outro:]
Drive and drive
Don't you ever sleep
Lay down by the railroad tires with promises to keep
Yeah, promises to keep
