City lights burn through the night
And they turn my head around
But all the people walking by
Are staring at the ground
All this chasing my ambition
I've forgotten who I am
I need a place for contemplation
Where I can make another plan
So let's drive out in the country
Leave the city lights behind
Where I can let the North Star be my guide
With you right here beside me
I could find my way tonight
Searching for a darker piece of sky
Like a ship upon the ocean
By gale and tempest tossed
Blown miles away from land and home
And given up for lost
With just a glimpse of open sky
I could plot a different course
To sail us back to safety
Found on familiar shores
So let's drive out in the country
Leave the city lights behind
Where I can let the North Star be my guide
With you right here beside me
I could find my way tonight
Searching for a darker piece of sky
I'm sitting in my car outside
The engine's on let's take the ride
With you right by my side
I could leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Tonight
Let's drive out in the country
We'll leave the city lights behind
Where I can let the North Star be my guide
With you right here beside me
I can find my way tonight
Searching for a darker piece of sky
Searching for a darker piece of sky
