Drive

Headlights on, hard rain beating on a cracked windshield

I throw my wet ball cap in the passenger seat and grab the steering wheel

Looking at the sky you would never even know that it's 6 a.m.

The sun came up about an hour ago but if I'm ever going to see it again

I got to drive, drive away from this cloud I'm under

I keep between the lines and go as fast as I can

I hear her goodbye echo like rolling thunder

I can't move on if I stay right where I am

I got to drive

I gotta drive

Speeding past the church, the main street, Sonic, and the football field

Everything here's got your memory on it and it always will

We were born and raised on this sacred ground and I thought we'd settle down here

It's killing my heart seeing this small town getting smaller in the rearview mirror

I got to drive, drive away from this cloud I'm under

Keep between the lines and go as fast as I can

I hear her goodbye echo like rolling thunder

I can't move on if I stay right where I am

I hear momma say, "If you run away, you'll be running for the rest of your life"

But if I don't leave now I don't see how I'm gonna make it through another night

I got to drive

I hear her goodbye echo like rolling thunder

I can't move on if I stay right where I am

I got to drive

I gotta drive

Headlights on, hard rain beating on a cracked windshield
