Lyrics

The Drive

Haven't they worked hard to deserve nice places

And the open road filling in the spaces

Always thought that you'd move on, but you never learned how

Always thought that you would be in love by now

You could never really be

What you never really wanted to be

You could never really be

What you never really wanted to be

You never had the drive

You nevеr had the drive

So you spent thе week, the long overdraft

When you noticed the first couldn't open the last

But you know what it said, you were afraid to look

You should have known better, should have had what they took

You could never really be

What you never really wanted to be

You could never really be

What you never really wanted to be

You never had the drive

You never had the drive

You never had the drive

You never had the drive
