John McCutcheon Drive All Night Lyrics

Eyes are burning
Hands can feel
After fourteen hours
Behind this wheel
I search the span
The radio
For anything familiar
For anything I know
In the dark ??
I fix my sight
Read my map
By the dashboard light
This old car
Knows what to do
Take me straight and fast
Back home to you

I would drive all night
To lay my head
Just one more time
On my lover's bed
To see her face
In the morning light
To hold her close
Feel each breath she'd take
I would drive all night

Floorboard's littered
With my past
All those things I've wasted
But I knew it'd never last
Once I understood
Now I don't
Once it all made sense
But now it won't

I would drive all night
To lay my head
Just one more time
On my lover's bed To see her face
In the morning light
To hold her close
Feel each breath she'd take
I would drive all night

Ain't no way
I could explain
This hungry feeling
This empty lane?
It's like a beacon
From the other side
That makes me take this road
And ride

It's a thousand miles
On a long dark road
The past ain't nothing
But a long dark load
You've seen me stumble
You've seen me fall
Through all these years
Through it all

I would drive all night
To lay my head
Just one more time
On my lover's bed
To see her face
In the morning light
To hold her close
Feel each breath she'd take
I would drive all night

To hold her close
Feel each breath she'd take
I would drive all night
I would drive all night
