Lyrics

I Could Drive Forever

Too many lines have been broken

Too many people have crumbled apart

In my hands

I should have left a long time ago

The best idea I ever had

With every mile

Another piece of me peels off

And whips down the road

All down the road

I should have left a long time ago

The best idea I ever had

With every mile

A piece of me peels off

And whips down the road

All down the road

I should have left a long time ago

The best idea I ever had

I feel light and strong

I could drive forever

Too many lines have been broken

Too many people have crumbled apart

In my hands

I should have left a long time ago

The best idea I ever had

With every mile

Another piece of me peels off

And whips down the road

All down the road

I should have left a long time ago

The best idea I ever had

I feel light and strong

I could drive forever

With every mile

Another piece of me peels off

And whips down the road

All down the road
