I Wanna Know

Drive past the ghosts on the highway
They say, "Goin' my way tonight?"
Old faces, old places, old traces of old memories
They're all out there
In the back of my mind

The memories we'd steal
Like movie frames on a reel
Play out in my mind
While I'm drivin'

And the road hums sweet and low
And I'm lost in Long Ago
And I realize
That I'm cryin'

So I drive all day
And I drive all night
Always heading for that setting sun
I wanna go
Where everybody goes
When they wanna know just who they are

And I wanna know
Wanna know

In a motel room on a
Beachside bed with that neon light
Buzzing overhead
A thousand miles away from the
Past and pain
But in rooms like this
You never can forget

Oh we tried to pretend that
It would never end
And I'd say I know
What "Forever" means
But nothing stays the same
And our lives are prearranged
And forever's
Just a dream

So I drive all day
And I drive all night
Always heading for that setting sun
I wanna go, oh-oh
Where everybody goes
When they wanna know just who they are

And I wanna know
Wanna know

And I wanna know
Wanna know

Wanna know
Wanna know
Wanna know
Wanna know
