This Only Happens When I Drive Lyrics

This Only Happens When I Drive lyrics

Pass the river once over,



Cross into the black,



Watch the syline sparkle



As I let it fade away.



The rear view's all I've got,



So I guess now's the time to say,



You were all I felt for a lifetime



Of broken promises I'll never forget.







Two more hours in Pennsylvania



With the radio on,



Ninety miles till I hit the border



Till I can't turn back.



The memory's all I've got 



So I just hate goodbyes.



This is all I get in a lifetime,



Then I think I know that,



No I won't let,



I guess I'll take this drive. 







Four hundred miles means I can't let go



Then this is my fault



I'll trade my promises for histories



Of all you gave to me,



These tears are all I've got 



So I just hate being myself.



You are all I get in a lifetime



And I don't want anybody else.
