The rain ricocheted off the windshield
And he addled by the cup
Under his breath in a whisper
He repeats a single dirty word
He had to do a friend a favor
He made a promise he can't keep
Cigarette burns between his fingers
Just in case he falls asleep
He says: "I will take care of everything
But I can't ask you to marry me
If I can't afford the rain."
The road ahead, is red and white
Strung out forever like Christmas lights
And I should change my ways
Cause I know it ain't right.
And I should turn around
But I drive all night
The interstate became a canvas
He turned into someone else
He argued with his own existence
But he can't convince himself
He won't take no for an answer
But it's the only one he will get
He wants to leave the past behind him
But it ain't done with him yet.
He says: "I will take care of everything
But I can't ask you to marry me
If I can't afford the rain."
The road ahead, is red and white
Strung out forever
Like Christmas lights
And I should change my ways
Cause I know it ain't right
And I should turn around
But I drive all night
There is no one without the other
We could run forever
But the past is never far behind
Standing in between two mirrors
I crossed my Heart, I crossed my finger
I crossed the line.
The road ahead, is red and white
Strung out forever like Christmas lights
And I should change my ways
Cause I know it ain't right
And I should turn around
But I drive all night
Yeah, I drive all night
Uh-uhhnn
Yeah, I drive all night
Yeah, I drive all night
Uh-uhhnn
Oh-uhhnn
