I'm standing on top of the road,
Looking down on all that is
And how it plays on our minds.
So what are you waiting for?
Should be fighting so much more,
Instead of hiding in the rain.
And how long you gonna wait,
Till some time you find a way to the start?
And I'm gonna do something
That I always had to do.
I'll find my way to peace
I'll find it with a fallen tune.
All the way home.
I devastate my minor fears
Sorting out all the things I doubt.
I'm sitting here by the fire.
You tell me you wanna lose?
Ain't got no time for you.
Now go back to the bar.
Oh long happy days,
Will you show me the way
To the start?
You will come to fear,
Something very near.
It's closer than you think
So better start driving.
Drive, drive,
All the way home.
So I drive, and I drive and I drive
All the way home.
You clatter on the door,
You keep her wanting more.
Does he tell his wife
He's gonna end his life?
Or does he stand his ground
And tell her he'll stick around?
I tell you my friend, tears don't lie.
You should have seen her soft blue eyes.
They told me not to quit
And I was just talking shit.
All the way home.
So I drive, and I drive and I drive,
All the way home.
