Lyrics

We've been driving since midnight and my eyes want to close,
I love driving with you,
But your laughter is spurring me on
I can't wait to get where we're going
So darlin' drive faster so the wind's in my hair
I will drive faster my girl
Or we'll never reach the chapel at all
Your father can't catch us, he's still fast asleep
Daddy can't take me from you...
He won't even know that you're gone
..if I'm bound by god to your side
So darlin' drive faster, I'm hearing him call
I will drive faster my girl
Or we'll never reach the chapel at all
We were driving so quick all the world was a blur
I was going too fast to control
And the last thing I heard was that sweet voice of yours
As you screamed and you cried
When we crashed and we died
And we never reached the chapel at all
They buried our bodies in separate grounds
For they didn't believe in our love
We could still be togetherif each other we find
We can meet at the chapel after all
Your father can't catch us while he's still alive
Daddy can't take you from me...
He won't know we're married at all
...if I'm bound in death to your side
So I'll walk through the darkness and the shadows my girl
I'll walk through the darkness, I will
And we'll meet at the chapel after all
Yes, we'll meet at the chapel after all
