Lyrics
Drive Away
Music and Lyrics © Matt W. Ebel
There was a time when nothing stood in between us.
Now there's a curve in the road so sharp it'll make you bleed.
We don't talk, we just punch the clock,
we can't find each other in the same old gridlock.
Maybe a little escape is what we need.
You live and you love and you work like a dog every morning.
The city's a pain like the latte stain on your dress.
Get in the van before you break down,
it don't cost a dime to leave this town.
We'll get on the road 'cause we gotta get out of this mess.
CHORUS:
So let's drive away.
Let the sunlight chase us all day.
Nothing's gonna stand in our way, yeah,
let's drive away.
Love was a word in a song and I took it for granted;
a bump in the road, not really a part of the drive.
Well come on, Kuwanna, it's alright.
You made me believe tonight
it's love that makes it so damn good to be alive.
(Chorus)
I'm sorry if I seem fast but I gotta get going.
There's gotta be more than the coffee shops and the bar.
Well baby, maybe it's too late,
or maybe, baby, it's just fate,
maybe you'll take my hand and we'll get in the car.
CHORUS:
So let's drive away.
Let the sunlight chase us all day.
Baby, that's all I got to say, yeah,
let's drive away.
