about

I was 10 years old. My father was driving me home from school and said, mostly to himself, "Sometimes I wish I could just keep on driving..." It took 30 years for me to understand what he meant.

lyrics

I've got me a wife, a job and kids,
Living the life I’m supposed to live and be satisfied
But sometimes I get the urge to run,
Point this truck into the sun and drive,
just drive,

Yeah, I can feel the pull of the wheel
The unlived life I’m wanting to steal away

She was the prettiest girl I’d ever seen
I didn’t deserve nothing that clean
But I took it anyway
Kids came fast, the work got slow
A chilly wind began to blow our way,
hmmm

Baby, can’t you feel the pull of the wheel
The unlived life you’re wanting to steal away

You draw your cards, you place your bets
Brace for the worst, hope for the best and try
to be satisfied
But lately I get the urge to run
Point this truck into the sun and drive
Just drive

Yeah, can’t you feel the pull of the wheel
The unlived life you’re wanting to steal away and drive,
Baby just drive,
Drive.
