Lyrics
vs1-
Another day has dawned, scarin' my dreams away.
A moments peace is gone, the city sky is dark and grey.
I don't remember much, but I know we fought the whole night through.
Was lookin' for a gentle touch, but finding only pain in you.
chorus-
Sometimes, all I want to do is get in the car and drive the whole night through.
Sometimes, all I want to do is get on the road and drive to something new.
I just want to drive away.
I just want to drive away.
Just want to drive away.
vs2-
In the street the battles rage, blinders on to get me through.
Just prisoners in a concrete cage, pump the volume, turn the screw.
I can't recall the time when I knew what I was lookin' for.
Losin' ground at every step and always comin' back for more.
chorus-
Sometimes, all I want to do is get in the car and drive the whole night through.
Sometimes, all I want to do is get on the road and drive to something new.
I just want to drive away.
I Just want to drive away.
Just want to drive away.
vs3-
Now the dream is gone, just the motions every day.
Live a compromise in everything I do and say.
I want to shake it up and free the demon deep inside.
But then I give it up, surrendering the pieces of my pride.
chorus-
Sometimes, all I want to do is get in the car and drive the whole night through.
Sometimes, all I want to do is get on the road and drive to something new.
I just want to drive away.
I Just want to drive away.
Just want to drive away.
