Song Description
An acoustic rock rumination on the concept of giving up automobiles and returning to travelling on foot. The song is filled with visual observations that would be left unseen cruising through the desert at 65 mph. When given a choice between the insanity of the modern world and simpler times, the song repeats "don't bother driving me crazy." Featuring a "driving" arrangement of acoustic guitars, piano, fretless bass and drums as well as gorgeous vocal harmonies sung by Ed and Pam Erenberg.

Lyrics
I went walking on the shoulder
I wasn't looking but I saw a golden arrow
Bright and perfect
The sun went down
The night came on
Don't bother driving me crazy
This road could never be that long
Somewhere lying in the footsteps
I found a life that's not my own
An old man wrinkled
He looked in my eyes
I hit the ground
He sent me home
Then he said don't bother driving me crazy
'cause I know this road could never be that long
Don't bother shaking me baby
'cause I know this boat is filled with perfection
You could wait around to die and wouldn't mind
Will you ever wonder why?
Or will I?
And I said don't bother driving me crazy
Because I know this road could never be that long
Don't bother shaking me baby
Because I know this boat is filled with perfection
Don't bother driving me
