When I was about 10 years old I was in the car with my dad and he said: "Son, sometimes I wish I could just keep on driving..." "Drive" is about the deep longing to break free from the life many of us have constructed from other people's expectations of who and what they think we should be.
Lyrics
DRIVE
I got me a wife, a job and kids
Living the life I’m supposed to live and be satisfied
But sometimes I get the urge to run
Point this truck into the sun and drive, just drive,
Yeah, I can feel the pull of the wheel
The unlived life I’m wanting to steal away
She was the prettiest girl I’d ever seen
I didn’t deserve nothing that clean
But I took it anyway
Kids came fast, the work got slow
A chilly wind began to blow our way,
hmmm
Baby, can’t you feel the pull of the wheel
The unlived life you’re wanting to steal away
You draw your cards, you place your bets
Brace for the worst, hope for the best and try
to be satisfied
But lately I get the urge to run
Point this truck into the sun and drive
Just drive
Yeah, can’t you feel the pull of the wheel
The unlived life you’re wanting to steal away and drive,
Baby just drive,
Drive.
