Baby, I've been thinking It's too hard to speak these nights Can I confess what's on my chest What's really on my mind See, I never was scared of nothing There was nothing that we couldn't do We used to think that We could walk on water Just because we wanted to And it all seemed so easy When we were living not just alive We talked about dreams And how we would like to spend our lives When freedom was a tank of gas On a long summer night To drive, just drive Can you keep a secret baby? If you can't, just lie Yeah, I want to scream When I have this dream That my whole life passed me by And they sold my heart for diamonds And they sold some pride for gold There's lots of things that I can't get back That the record company owns When 17 has turned 30 Its all gone kiss it goodbye Hey, baby, maybe we aint kids no more But I'm too young to die There's still some freedom in this tank of gas If youre by my side We'll drive, just drive Don't want no airplanes, no ticket on a fast train All I wanted was a two-lane With you by my side We'll drive, all night long, get on board We'll drive, with the radio on You can lean your head on my shoulder And just for a while Forget about the world, baby, mile after mile We'll drive, all night long yeah, you want a ride? No airplane, no ticket on a fast train All I wanted was a two-lane And you by my side We'll drive, all night long, get on board We'll drive, with the radio on baby all right
