Drive My Car Lyrics

Drive My Car lyrics

by David Crosby







It was one of those nights 



When you drive



Right by your own street



And you wonder who's running



Your hands and your feet



And your car becomes a capsule



Sometimes you can hide



Last night I just wanted



I wanted to ride



I wanted to drive my car



Didn't really care how far



I wanted to roam, alone



I wanted to drive my car



Didn't really care how far



I wanted to roam, alone.







I was not out looking



For honeys



Oh I noticed them



like usual but not as strong



And the distance between



Me and my pavement



Seemed to get



A hundred yards long



I still feel the wind



on my elbow



But I'm driving by



The seat of my pant



I keep on tryin'



To tune in tune in



On the radio



Trying to tune me



Out of my trance







I wanted to drive my car



I didn't really care how far



I wanted to roam, alone



I wanted to drive my car



Didn't really care how far



I wanted to roam, alone.







At least a car goes



Where you steer it



Sometimes that's the only 



Thing it does



So I get in it



And I drive it



Just to hear it



And remember this



Feeling that there was.







I wanted to drive my car



I didn't really care how far



I wanted to roam, alone



I wanted to drive my car



I didn't really care how far



I wanted to roam, alone.
