Lyrics
Any bright sunny day
With a low-flying plane
New York City, I lose feeling in my fingers
When there's no subsequent crash
The blood returns and I go back
To doing what I do
But it still lingers
Drive
Drive
Put me in a car and drive
On a rush-hour train
Pressed against a stranger
I begin to hate everybody
And up above on the street
Behind someone with slower feet
Thinking things I shouldn't think
About anybody
Drive
Drive
Put me in a car and drive
Drive
Drive
Put me in a car and drive
There's no place like home
I almost never roam
But sometimes a girl's gotta get out
At least until I see
Trees and Dairy Queens
And turn this thing around, yeah
Turn this thing around
New Jersey, Pennsylvania
Ohio, Indiana
Drive until we fade into this endless interstate
Illinois and Iowa
We'll stop and wake your mother up
Stay a day or two till we run out of things to do
Drive
Drive
Put me in a car and drive
Drive
Drive
Put me in a car and drive
