I Go Driving

When I go driving down the roads I know by heart

When I go driving I feel better in the dark

In the light it hurts too much to see what isn't there today

In the dark I can pretend that I'm okay

As I'm riding, I sing songs I know by heart

As I'm riding, I love every single part

Of "Good Ole Boys Like Me"

"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"

Is it wrong that I find pleasure in the pain?

See, I'm travelin' back in time to a land of make believe

Where the farms are going strong and my father's still with me

Where the silos in the shadows and the barns are full of feed

Where there's hope in farmers' eyes and folks who know their needs

When I go driving

As I'm dreaming, driftin' down those country lanes

Yes, I'm dreaming, thinkin' things can be the same

I'm looking at the past, I'm trying not to stare

Reaching for a life that isn't there

See, I'm travelin' back in time to a land of make believe

Where the farms are going strong and my father's still with me

Where the silos in the shadows and the barns are full of feed

Where there's hope in farmers' eyes and folks who know their needs

When I go driving

When I go driving

When I go driving

Ooh, ooh, ooh
