Straight ahead, right down the highway
Out across New Mexico
Passing trucks with Haggard singing on the radio.
There's a shootin' star falling behind me
But wishin' won't make a dream come true
Right now there's only one thing that I gotta do.

I gotta drive, keep on rolling
I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright.

One more stop, fill her up
A cup of coffee and a piece of pie
A dollar tip and I'm back out under that western sky.
Got the pedal down as far as it's going
I ain't worryin' about my speed
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net]
'Cause I just don't know how long she'll wait for me.

Oh, I gotta drive, keep on rolling
I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright.

--- Instrumental ---

There's a shootin' star falling behind me
But wishin' won't bring me home to you
Right now there's only one thing that I gotta do.

Oh, I gotta drive, keep on rolling
I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright.

Drive
I gotta drive
Oh, I gotta drive
I gotta drive...
