A
You close the door and start the motor
F#m
I roll the window down
A
I raise my hand and wave goodbye
F#m
To neighborhood queens and clowns and

A
Children in the front yards
F#m
They hide and seek and laugh
A
I can almost hear you thinking
F#m
How could these days go by so fast

               A
And the rear view could picture
E               F#m          D
What we leave behind
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E                    F#m         D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive

( G#m )

A
A silent conversation
F#m
No words cause there's no need
A
We let the tapes mix up the years
F#m
And press repeat and press repeat

      A                  E
The trunk is filled with records
       F#m              D
And books and tears and clothes
      A            E
I'm smiling on the surface
       F#m          D
I'm scared as hell below

        A
And the rear view could picture
E                F#m      D
What we leave behind
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E                       F#m           D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive

      A
Good morning freedom
E               F#m      D
Good night lullabies
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E                      F#m      D        B
Drive darling, drive darling, drive

B               D
And when we arrive
D                  F#m
The hardest of goodbyes
F#m             E
You will dry my eyes
E                           D
Somehow you're always by my side
D                    F#m
The one who holds my kite
F#m              E
And watches over all my flights

( A  E  F#m  D )

A
Drive darling, drive darling
E                    F#m      D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive

      A
Good morning freedom
E               F#m      D
Good night lullabies
A
Drive darling, drive darling
E                    F#m      D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive

A
Drive darling, drive darling
E                    F#m      D
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
