Drive
Music & Lyrics by Nikki O’Neill

your lust for life’s too big for this town
childhood friends have all settled down
making small-talk about sensible dreams
you take the wheel and you take a long breath
staying here would mean a long, slow death
you’re the rebel in your family

truth is a distant sound
a new day calls and you’re ready and bound
you, a lone traveler
you, a new unraveller
The road awaits, so drive

all your life, you’ve walked a straight line
but God gave you these two points in time
and you’ve gotta have some say in between
you take the wheel and you turn the key
make sure your mom and dad don’t see
your tears in the mirror

truth is a distant sound
a new day calls, you’re still ready and bound
you, a lone traveler
you, a new unraveller
the road awaits, so drive

you were born to move
too curious and fine-tuned to turn a blind eye
there’s no prize for standing still
so go and feel the thrill of being alive
The road awaits, so drive
