Drive Darling

[Verse 1]
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 yard
They hide and seek and laugh
I can almost hear you thinkin'
"How could these days go by so fast?"

[Chorus]
And the rearview could picture what we leave behind
Drive, darlin', drive, darlin', drive, darlin'
Drive, darlin', drive

[Verse 2]
A silent conversation
No words 'cause there's no need
We let the tapes mix up the years
And press repeat and press repeat
Our trunk is filled with records
And books and tears and clothes
I'm smiling on the surface
I'm scared as hell below

[Chorus]
And the rearview could picture what we leave behind
Drive, darlin', drive, darlin', drive, darlin'
Drive, darlin', drive
Good morning freedom, goodnight lullabies
Drive, darlin', drive, darlin', drive, darlin'
Drive, darlin', drive, drive

[Bridge]
And when we arrive
The hardest of goodbyes
You will dry my eyes
Somehow, you're always by my side
The one who hurts my kind
And watched over all my thoughts

[Chorus]
And the rearview could picture what we leave behind
Drive, darlin', drive, darlin', drive, darlin'
Drive, darlin', drive
