|
Curled up in the back of the car |
|
Nine years old you don't know where you are |
|
And your head's on the window, your eyes are just closed |
|
There's a voice in the front and a hush on the road |
|
You're a passenger but your mind is travelling on |
|
Open your eyes and you're nine years older |
|
Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over |
|
To lie with your first love, you can't wait to see her |
|
You borrowed the car and you think you're the driver |
|
But now you're the passenger to your own heart |
|
and it takes you travelling, travelling on |
|
When the morning broke and the sky fell down |
|
It went black as night and the wind blew round |
|
And stole your directions, you lost your way home |
|
And you felt like a passenger left by the road |
|
But I'll tell you the reason you couldn't get home |
|
Cause there's nowhere you've been and it's nowhere you're going |
|
Home is only a feeling you get in your mind |
|
From the people you love and you travel beside |
|
You may feel like a passenger but now you're the driver |
|
You've got to go travelling, travelling on |
|
Because if you break down, it's a cold, hard shoulder |
|
So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on |
|
Drive on, drive on |
|
And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder |
|
Drive on, drive on |
|
And it's nine more years you've been driving now |
|
But tonight you're stumbling through your old town |
|
You met up with a schoolfriend who's still just the same |
|
And you talked all the same shit you talked in those days |
|
And now you're drunk and you're sad for the old times passing you by |
|
For there's no rewind so you might as well play while your time is rolling away |
|
And get back on the road, it's a beautiful day |
|
Pick up all the friends you can find on your way |
|
And if you lose direction they'll be there guiding you on |
|
Guiding you, guiding you on. |
|
Because we're all going the same way down this long road |
|
Yes, we're all bound the same way down this long, long road |
|
So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on |
|
Drive on, drive on |
|
And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder |
|
Drive on |
|
Fuel up, and drive on |
|
Fuel up, and drive on |
|
Drive on |
