DRIVE
Verse 1
If we’re gonna play a show in New Orleans
Get the kids, fill the car with gasoline
Say bye to everyone we know, ready steady here we go
If we’re gonna play a show in New Orleans
Throwing all the gear in the Caravan
Whole band headed for Louisiana wetlands
Verse 2
See the sun a sinkin like a submarine
Empty out the automatic teller machine
Wave to your mama, to your pa,
when we pass through Arkansas
See the sun a sinkin like a submarine
Highway, all the way, let me in the fast lane
sheriff on the shoulder, hope he made his quota
Chorus 1
Revin up the engine, got our two guitars
Here’s hoping nothing’s broken
and they’ll know who we are
Wishing for a crowd and full tip jar
and no heckler yelling “Freebird!” at the back of the bar
I can see the city lights,
everything’s alright so just drive, drive, drive
Verse 3
Speeding down the interstate to Baton Rouge
O’er the Mississippi and the river saloons
To get there by load-in,
can’t get pulled o-ver again
Speeding down the interstate to Baton Rouge
Keep the motor red-lined til the city limits sign
Destination on the right, hope I typed it in right
Ahhhhhh
Chorus 2
Chorus 1
Revin up the engine, got our two guitars
Here’s hoping nothing’s broken
and they’ll know who we are
Wishing for a crowd and full tip jar
and no heckler yelling “Freebird!” at the back of the bar
I can see the city lights,
everything’s alright so just drive, drive
Revin up the engine, got our two guitars
Here’s hoping nothing’s broken
and they’ll know who we are
Wishing for a crowd and full tip jar
and no heckler yelling “Freebird!” at the back of the bar
I can see the city lights,
everything’s alright so...
