Lyrics
I go driving
hey Mama check out my new ride here
'cause I'm really alive yeah
while the world outside is barely surviving
and I go uptown
I see the songs the scenes go down
everybody gonna quit this town
but that's just talk
that talk go 'round and 'round
and the cops well, they don't know my name
'cause I'm a freak and I'm a hero
I'm a loser all the same baby
and they get tired of playing that same game
but they keep pinning down the punks
and they keep pinning on the blame
and I go driving
I'm paying them no mind
'cause I'm really alive yeah
while the world outside is barely surviving
and I go downtown
and I watch 'em dunk on that playground
I see 'em bump and I hear 'em shout
and that downtown tough
goin' 'round and 'round
and there's a Momma singing spanish down her street
but her daughter won't come home you know
there's a chance that she might meet
no doctor, lawyer, none of that white collar creep
but some local romeo that might sweep her off her feet
and I go driving
in my shoop-de-coup my glide yeah
'cause I'm really alive yeah
while the world outside is barely surving
I go driving
