Curled up in the back of the car

Nine years old, you don't know where you are

And your head's on the window, your eyes are just closed

There's a voice in the front, and a hush on the road

You're a passenger, but your mind is travelin' on

Open your eyes, and you're nine years older

Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over

To lie with your first love, you can't wait to see her

You borrowed the car and you think you're the driver

But now you're the passenger to your own heart

And it take you travelin', travelin' on

When that morning broke and the sky fell down

It went black as night and the wind blew round

And stole your directions, you lost your way home

And you felt like a passenger left by the road

Well I'll tell you the reason you couldn't get home

'Cause it's nowhere you've been, and it's nowhere you're goin'

Home is only a feeling you get in your mind

From the people you love and you travel beside

You may feel like a passenger, but now you're the driver

You've got to go travelin', travelin' on

'Cause if you break down

It's a cold, hard shoulder

So fuel up your mind

And fire up your heart

And drive on

Drive on, drive on

And when your days are darker

Put your foot down harder

Drive on, drive on

And it's nine more years you've been drivin' now

But tonight you're stumblin' through your old town

You met up with a school friend who's still just the same

And you talked all the same shit you talked in those days

And now you're drunk, and you're sad for all the old times passin' you by

Well there's no rewind, so you might as well play

While your time is rolling away

And get back on the road, it's a beautiful day

Pick up all the friends you can find on your way

And if you lose direction, they'll be there guiding you on

Guidin' you, guidin' you on

'Cause we're all goin' the same way down this long road

(So fuel up)

Yes, we're all bound the same way, down this long, long road

So fuel up your mind

And fire up your heart

And drive on

(When your days are darker)

Drive on, drive on

(Put your foot down harder, drive on)

And when your days are darker

(Days are darker)

Put your foot down harder

Drive on

Fuel up and drive on

Fuel up and drive on

Drive on
