Lyrics

Matt Maltese — Driving Just To Drive

Walking back without a song

I hear the cars, I smell the exhaust

Playing in the park when I was four

I can't remember anymore

When it rains, it doesn't pour

It just trickles, dawn to dawn

A big, bad shadow on the trees

The smell of cattle in the breeze
