Have you ever gone on a midnight drive?
Nowhere to go, no place to arrive?

Drifting through the sleeping towns
Nothing but the low car sounds

Passing cities far away
Their beckoning lights beg you to stay

Crossing fields of county crops
A house a mile, a few rest stops

You think about your friends at home
And you, in this place, all alone

Imagine lives behind those doors
Working, playing, doing chores

They all have problems, solved each day
A cheating wife, more bills to pay

We're all apart from one another
Even from each sister, brother

Although we live and love together
Hanging on to earthly tethers 

In the end we're all alone
Driving down our lonely road

Driving driving up downhill
Driving driving driving still.
