Driving Song

Sped away but you left your tears on the sidewalk 
Sped away and you left me here on the sidewalk
Better run from the people and their talk

Didn’t know we were lost till they came and found us
Didn’t know we were lost till they came and found us
Till the search light hurt our eyes 

So drive away from my love
Just drive away from my love
Why do you pray for my love
If you can’t stay for my love
You disappear behind me
And my heart is stone
What I fear behind me 
Well it’s already gone.

I look for all the faded signs on the highway
I look for all the faded signs on the highway
They might bring me back to you someday

So drive away from my love
Just drive away from my love
Why do you pray for my love
If you can’t stay for my love
Trying to steer behind you
Like trying to unset the sun
Looks so near behind you
But the west’s already won

I drove around all night but you didn’t show
I drove around all night but you didn’t show
So it’s none for my baby and one more for the road 

So drive away from my love
Just drive away from my love
Why do you pray for my love
If you can’t stay for my love
You know that they love to see you undone
Gotta run away from the preachers and their sons
