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