I drove the car She'd made it plain That I'd run out of ways To win her back again
Her seat was back No seat belt on And on the radio Some too familiar song
I thought if I could hurt her Then she couldn't leave She'd need someone to nurse her Someone could be me Together hell for leather shooting up the midnight motorway I drove the car that took my love away
I glimpsed her hair Blown by the wind And passing headlights
I saw the road Its curves ahead Then I saw me with flowers At her hospital bed
I saw the corner nearing And looked to the sky I let go of the steering wheel And closed my eyes
And though it never crossed my mind she might not live to see the day I drove the car that took my love away
Together hell for leather shooting up the midnight motorway I drove the car that took my love away
