Drivin' All Night Long

The full moon's glowing out so bright
It's light out on the highway
I can't hear the engine for the wheels out on the road
The wind is blowing, freezing
But it keeps my eyes wide open
It's 3 a.m. and driving's far and it hauls a heavy load

But I got to tell her that I'm sorry
I got to tell her I was wrong
I got to show her I still love her
And I've been drivin' all night long

Well, a hundred miles from nowhere
There are houses on the highway
Empty and a darkened place
That someone once called home
But maybe they put sheets on chairs
And tables like in movies
But I know that in real life
That they're as empty as my soul

I got to tell her that I'm sorry
I got to tell her I was wrong
And I got to show her I still love her
I've been drivin' all night long

And if I fail and I turn that wheel into that semi coming
I know well that there's a man in there
Just trying to get home
And there waiting up and worrying
Is the one who loves him dearly
I ain't thinking clearly
'Cause I've been drivin' all night long

People think I'm lazy
And I'm scared to just stop runnin'
People think I'm crazy
And I don't know that she's gone
But I know that I've got two hundred miles to make 'fore mornin'
But I don't think too much
'Cause I've been drivin' all night long
No, I don't think too much
'Cause I've been drivin' all night long
