DRIVING MY LIFE AWAY
Eddie Rabbit
Well the midnight headlight find you on a rainy night
steep grade up ahead slow me down makin no time
gotta keep rollin
those windshield wipers slappin out a tempo
keepin perfect rhythm with the song on the radio gotta keep rollin
CHORUS
ooh, I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way, for me
ooh, I'm driving my life away. looking for a sunny day
Well the truck stop cutie comin on to me
tried to talk me into a ride said I wouldn't be sorry
but she was just a baby
Well waitress pour me another cup of coffee
pop me down, jack me up, shoot me out
headin down the highway
lookin for the morning
Chorus
verse 1
