Carter's Chord - Drivin' Lyrics

Drivin
Words and Music By: Becky Robertson

V1
Come on sweet highway, carry me away
Stretch on for miles to where the night meets the day
Some on sweet angels, fly over my car
Wrap me in safety as I outrun these stars

Chorus
Oh I woke up this evening
And I realized that this will not last
So I kissed him while he was sleepin’
Now I’m drivin’ away from the past
Oh I’m driving’ away from the past

V2
Come on sweet rearview, don’t let me look back
May the things left behind me slowly fade into black
Sweet California, you’re callin’ my name
I thought I loved that Texas boy but to him it’s all a game

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge
And I wondered if my car would make it over the Grapevine
And I almost drifted off when I left Bakersfield behind
And Visalia’s just a few more miles up highway 99
I’ll get a goodnight sleep at Grandma’s house
And see what mornin’ finds…

(Repeat Chorus)
