Driving - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You're revvin' and drivin' through the night when those stars line up like they should

You've turned into what you've been through, but you used to be of good

You think of that old photograph, your mom in '89

Your dad laughed, said she was like that when she had herself too much wine

You'd give anything at all to be anywhere but here

Your breathin' only steadies when you start to disappear

You wanna be in the mountains or smellin' water by the coast

But you can't get out of your own mind, so you settle in and coast

And you just drive to stay alive

One more day that passes by

You just drive through the night

'Til that darkness turns to sky

You think about your sister and the mighty heart she has

She's been sober for a year now, how the time, it seems to pass

They told you it would go quick, but you never tend to listen

Don't you miss your mama, boy, hummin' hymnals in the kitchen?

And you just drive to stay alive

One more day that passes by

You just drive through the night

'Til that darkness turns to sky

The concrete is the same here as it is in Rogers County

I bet those boys are doin' fine runnin' roads without me

Don't you miss the days when we'd sneak Jack in football games?

No one in this town remembers my name anyways

So I just drive to stay alive

One more day that passes by

I just drive through the night

'Til that darkness turns to sky

You're revvin' and drivin' through the night when those stars line up like they should

You've turned into what you've been through, but you used to be of good
