Driving from Let's Fly by Barry Michael

1) DRIVING
I’m trying to remember, when i was just a boy
A million miles of sunny skies, horizons full of choice,
————
Weekends down the coast road, my mum at the wheel
A lifetime of experience has shown me how she feels.
—— CHORUS ——
You think you know a better way , but it just goes to show
That i’m Driving but i don’t know where to go.
————
When i started working, i fell for all their tricks
Well at least they told the truth about the carrot and the stick,
————
Their quest is for the dollar, but baby how much is enough,
They’re loadin’ up the gravy train as factories close up
———CHORUS———
Their dead hearts dressed in Calvin Klein, the unemployed go home
Now they’re Driving but they don’t know where to go.
—————
I used to think that if i played along i’de finally get to somewhere,
But now i realise that i am already there.
————INSTRUMENTAL————
The things that are so precious , are things you cannot see
The moments between loved ones , and all of them are free
———CHORUS———
If cash is king i’de rather be, a pauper on the road
Happy driving and still don’t know where to go
Yes i’m Driving and i don’t know where to go. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
