Drive on Drive on The highway’s bright and long The river’s overflowing The houses burning down
Drive on Drive on The engine hums along We kiss goodbye and drank up Some mouths before our tongues We kiss goodbye and drank up I’ll miss you when you’re gone
So throw me a line So throw me a line … The windows are shaking and so are my bones The world’s going round Throw me a rope
The trumpet and trombone Still echoing in the hall And bells ringing along the dam
So hang onto me Hang onto me The world’s going round And time’s cutting out The headlights are stinging all over the road Throw me a rope Throw me a rope
I knew you when I was young … I wish you were still along I waited a long time All for you I waited a long time I lost you
I was sleeping in the backseat When I got home … I lost you
