A
You close the door and start the motor
F#m
I roll the window down
A
I raise my hand and wave goodbye
F#m
To neighborhood queens and clowns and
A
Children in the front yards
F#m
They hide and seek and laugh
A
I can almost hear you thinking
F#m
How could these days go by so fast
A
And the rear view could picture
E F#m D
What we leave behind
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E F#m D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
( G#m )
A
A silent conversation
F#m
No words cause there's no need
A
We let the tapes mix up the years
F#m
And press repeat and press repeat
A E
The trunk is filled with records
F#m D
And books and tears and clothes
A E
I'm smiling on the surface
F#m D
I'm scared as hell below
A
And the rear view could picture
E F#m D
What we leave behind
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E F#m D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
A
Good morning freedom
E F#m D
Good night lullabies
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E F#m D B
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
B D
And when we arrive
D F#m
The hardest of goodbyes
F#m E
You will dry my eyes
E D
Somehow you're always by my side
D F#m
The one who holds my kite
F#m E
And watches over all my flights
( A E F#m D )
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E F#m D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
A
Good morning freedom
E F#m D
Good night lullabies
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E F#m D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E F#m D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
