Lyrics
Long Drive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She fakes a smile when she feels broken
So many words go left unspoken
Tries to pretend like there ain't nothing wrong
Walks into school with her head held high
But little do they know how she feels inside
As she watches the days drag on and on
She tries to find a way to escape from all the pain
That mom and dad can’t seem to recognize
She's tired of the weight
Got too much on her plate
So she hops into her car to take a drive
Rolled down windows drivin' down a back road
Crankin' up her favorite song
Don't know where she’s headed
She don't need directions
She'll be driving all night long
The sweet taste of freedom in the air that she's breathing
Just trying to feel alive
Ain't no lookin' back now, she's gone off the tracks now
It's gonna be a long drive
Daddy left home when she turned 15
Nobody said life was easy
Tear dried eyes staring at the ceiling
Mama went off and got remarried
Lost her job and just stopped caring
Heart gone numb to feelings not worth bearing
She tries to find a way to escape from all the pain
That no one else can't seem to recognize
She’s tired of the weight
Got too much on her plate
So she hops into her car to take a drive
Rolled down windows drivin' down a back road
Crankin' up her favorite song
Don't know where she’s headed
She don't need directions
She'll be driving all night long
The sweet taste of freedom in the air that she's breathing
Just trying to feel alive
Ain't no lookin' back now, she's gone off the tracks now
It's gonna be a long drive
Oh she's got the wind in her hair
These roads could take her anywhere
Cause there ain't no destination
On the road that she has taken
Rolled down windows drivin' down a back road
Crankin' up her favorite song
Don't know where she’s headed
She don't need directions
She'll be driving all night long
The sweet taste of freedom in the air that she's breathing
Just trying to feel alive
Ain't no lookin' back now, she's gone off the tracks now
It's gonna be a long drive
