Morning drive

on Friday night we pack the car

as soon as you get home

your hair's a mess from waitressing

and I've been here alone

but come the morning and all of that

we'll leave here with the bills

just seven hours if we cut across

the Pennsylvania hills

and as we drive we'll talk about

the places that we'll go

first Central Park then every single

record store we know

and don't you worry,

SoHo without money can be hard

we've got no cash, but I've got

this brand new credit card

so let the day come now

we'll pay for gas somehow

'cuz only a morning drive

can make us feel alive

the years have passed and suddenly

we spend our nights at home

and our weekends maintaing

all the things that we now own

but when we find a moment

here or there to spend on maps

we plan out road trips to coincide

with our son's daily naps

so let the day come now

we'll pay for gas somehow

'cuz only a morning drive

can make us feel alive
