Drive On (Acoustic) - Matt Mays

Love, keep your eyes on the road 'Cause when I stare all I see is two foggy windows to a lost soul And maybe, maybe it's all my fault That it's so quiet on the drive home Babe, can I build my home in your mind? A disheveled maze, constellated and intertwined But somehow, my favorite kind and my favorite view When it untangles in the moonlight Darlin', we're gettin' older In less than eight months You'll wash tear stains off of your shoulder And drenched in alcohol and conceit The cold-blooded bodies quick on their feet Will tell you how to earn your stripes And you'll be listening while I sit here with glistening eyes As the stripes on my back chip and dry You won't be listening to my cries Anymore Ooh Ooh And we'll be two pieces of driftwood Floating in a sea of missed calls and excuses And your home will change into four walls and a mini fridge Instead of four limbs and lips to kiss But for now, the night is young And you are here and Snow Patrol just came on the radio So darlin', let's take Darlin', let's take the long way home Ooh Ooh Ooh Love, keep your eyes on the road

Well, I got a friend named Whiskey Sam He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam He said, "I think my country got a little off track" "Took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back" But, it's better than not coming back at all Many a good man I saw fall And even now, every time I dream I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream Drive on, it don't mean nothin' My children love me, but they don't understand And I got a woman who knows her man Drive on, it don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' Drive on What I remember one night, Tex and me Rappelled in on a hot L.Z. We had our sixteen's on rock and roll And with all that fire, I was scared and cold I was crazy, and I was wild And I have seen the tiger smile I spit in a bamboo viper's face And I'd be dead, but by God's grace Drive on, it don't mean nothin' My children love me, but they don't understand And I got a woman who knows her man Drive on, it don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' Drive on It was a slow walk in a sad rain And nobody tried to be John Wayne I came home, but Tex did not And I can't talk about the hit he got But I got a little limp now when I walk And I got a little tremolo when I talk But my letter read from Whiskey Sam "You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from Vietnam" Drive on, it don't mean nothin' My children love me, but they don't understand And I got a woman who knows her man Drive on, it don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' Drive on

If I can't walk to you I'd crawl Below the trees that bring The fall I'll make a mess for you To solve We wouldn't have to sleep alone At all On Jupiter Drive I can't seem to find my footsteps Living on Jupiter Drive Something tells me I've been reckless Living on Jupiter Drive The cul-de-sac without an exit Living on Jupiter drive I messed up and it won't help to stick around A lonely year comes back Around The water pulls me to The ground I sink and shake until I drown I'm getting lost and can't Be found On Jupiter Drive I can't seem to find my footstеps Living on Jupiter Drive Something tеlls me I've been reckless Living on Jupiter Drive The cul-de-sac without an exit Living on Jupiter Drive I messed up and it won't help to stick around On Jupiter Drive I can't seem to find my footsteps Living on Jupiter Drive Something tells me I've been reckless Living on Jupiter Drive The cul-de-sac without an exit Living on Jupiter Drive I messed up and it won't help to stick around

I know you, so better than the city in the rear view I drive to eliminate the ball that I'm chained to Take me, break me, every mile further, there's a part of me that slips away One day, you'll see even if you got down on your knees, you couldn't make me stay Drive all night, never gonna get me Night by night to get away from it all Fight, fight, fight, all you wanna do is hurt me You wrecked my life so I'm gonna have to drive all night I'll stay strong, I'm pushing on the pedal 'til I break dawn So I'm gone, go find another shoulder you can cry on Take me, break me, every mile further, there's a part of me that slips away One day, you'll see, even if you got down on your knees, you couldn't make me stay Drive all night, never gonna get me Night by night to get away from it all Fight, fight, fight, all you wanna do is hurt me You wrecked my life so I'm gonna have to drive all night You wrecked my life so I'm gonna have to drive all night You wrecked my life so I'm gonna have to drive all night All of the things that you knew that I'd try All of the things that I held inside, all I gotta do is drive Drive all night, never gonna get me Night by night to get away from it all Fight, fight, fight, all you wanna do is hurt me You wrecked my life so I'm gonna have to drive all night You wrecked my life so I'm gonna have to drive all night You wrecked my life so I'm gonna have to drive all night You wrecked my life so I'm gonna have to drive all night You wrecked my life so I'm gonna have to drive all night
