Lyrics
Driving My Baby
Words & Music
Nick Tedesco
verse 1
Only forty-seven miles across then state line
I?ve been driving so long I feel like dying
I could use a break I know that is true
But driving my baby is all I can do
I?ve been traveling so long on the road
And all the miles I?ve done has had their toll
chorus
But driving my baby is the way to go
I?m heading out on the open road again
Sometimes I don?t know which way to go but I just can?t seem to stop
On the road again
verse 2
My baby going ninety but I want to get more
So I?m pushing that pedal down to the floor
I?m hoping that Smokey is home for the night
And all the slow people better stay to the right
I stop for a coffee and a sandwich to go
I said hurry up lady why you moving so slow
I got to get to L.A. before its daylight
Even if I have to drive there all night
chorus
But driving my baby is the way to go
I?m heading out on the open road again
Sometimes I don?t know which way to go but I just can?t seem to stop
On the road again
solo
chorus
But driving my baby is the way to go
Well I?m heading out on the open road again
Sometimes I don?t know which way to go but I just can?t seem to stop
On the road again
But driving my baby is the way to go
I?m heading out on the open road again
Sometimes I don?t know which way to go but I just can?t seem to stop
