Drive Through the Dark

When the lights go out down in Georgia
You start burning on the midnight oil
I just keep driving
With nowhere to go
Passed by my house now and the next fifteen exits
Trying to convince myself I won't have to go back to it
These days where I can't figure out what I'm gonna do
Or know where I'm gonna be

When the past overlaps with the present
And makes you feel quiet
When words are just sounds with a story
To help you get by

I dare you to move
I dare you to dance
I dare you to start, the fire in your heart
To take one more chance
Roll with the roads
Wait out the war
Let the demons let go
And find who you are
While you drive through the dark

When the night takes you over
Search through the pieces of what you've discovered
Like finding your face through reflections of water
While casting out stones
Time will come around, just wait and see
When everybody's eyes are done starting at me
I'll light up the distance for miles and miles
In a fluorescent white

When the past overlaps with the present
And makes you feel quiet
When words are just sounds with a story
To help you get by

I dare you to move
I dare you to dance
I dare you to start, the fire in your heart
To take one more chance
Roll with the roads
Wait out the war
Let the demons let go
And find who you are
While you drive through the dark
