Coming into Los Angeles The lights in the canyon We arrived before sunrise And stopped to take it in Thought the best was behind me But now I am finding We've still got a few miles So baby, keep the car running Baby, keep the car running Baby, keep the car running Baby, keep the car running Seems like radio evangelists Are on every channel Telling me to let go And embrace the unknown I'm afraid to get older I still am but you know it From the passengers seat just close my eyes And keep the car running Baby, keep the car running Baby, keep the car running Baby, keep the car running There's no reason to stay The wind in my hair The sun on my face I've felt so much pain Thought I was prepared But now it's too late (Baby, keep the car running) From Sunset to Essex street And all the shit in between Taking the best of me (Baby keep the car running) I'm a little bit overwhelmed And hesitant to trust myself Getting older hurts like hell (Baby keep the car running) So if I never follow through And there's nothing left for me to prove I swear I'll make it up to you Baby keep the car running Baby keep the car running Baby keep the car running Baby keep the car running Baby keep the car running
