Drive Darling

You close the door and start the motor
I roll the window down
I raise my hand and wave goodbye
To neighborhood queens and clowns
And children in the front yard
They hide-and-seek and laugh
I can almost hear you thinking
How could these days go by so fast?

And the rearview could picture what we leave behind
Drive darling, drive darling, drive darling
Drive, darling drive

A silent conversation
No words 'cause there's no need
We let the tapes mix up the years and
Press repeat and press repeat
The trunk is filled with records
And books and tears and clothes
I'm smiling on the surface
I'm scared as hell below

And the rearview could picture what we leave behind
Drive darling, drive darling, drive darling
Drive, darling drive

Good morning freedom, goodnight lullabies
Drive darling, drive darling, drive darling
Drive, darling drive, drive

And when we arrive
The hardest of goodbyes
You will dry my eyes somehow
You're always by my side
The one who hurts my kind
And watches over all my thoughts

And the rearview could picture what we leave behind
Drive darling, drive darling, drive darling
Drive, darling drive
