Drive
Chris Colston Lyrics

Well the afternoons gone,
The afternoon has gone by and it has been a difficult day for you

You're sitting alone been a hell of a day
You are alone and feeling overwhelmed after a tough day

You pass all the time with a cheap box of wine Franzia Chardonnay
To help pass the time, you are drinking a cheap box of wine called Franzia Chardonnay

Call up some old friends to see how they've been
To try and feel better, you call some old friends to catch up

They’re all doing fine
Your friends are okay and doing well

Come to find out you're about half as well twice as far down the line
Upon talking to your friends, you realize that you're not doing as well as you thought and you're far down the line in terms of feeling better

You're doing alright
Despite the difficult day, you're managing to be okay

Though you got so damn much on the line
Although you have a lot on your plate and things to worry about

You're that tough-minded Texas kind
You have a resilient personality, characteristic of the tough-minded Texans

Yeah the one I’ve been trying to find
You are the kind of person the singer has been searching for

I'd cross state lines tonight
The singer is willing to cross state lines to see you

If I knew I was on your mind
If you were thinking about him, he would be willing to visit you

Girl it just don't seem right
It doesn't feel right that you're sleeping alone tonight

For you to be sleeping alone tonight
It's a pity that you're sleeping alone tonight

Guess I'll just drive
The singer decides to take a drive to clear his head

Those 4 wheels know just how I feel
The singer feels that the car he is driving is aware of his emotions

Worn by this road
The car feels exhausted and tired from being on the road for long

Damned if it ain't cold
The weather is quite cold

But you oughta know
You should know that you're not the only one drinking alone

That you ain't the only one drinking alone
There are other people who are also drinking alone

Smoke fills my cab
The car is full of smoke

Take the long way back
The singer decides to take the longer route back home

Hope I see you sometime
The singer hopes to see you at some point

Think I'll head that way hope to God and pray
The singer decides to go in your direction and hopes that God will watch over him

The red and blue lights stay behind
The singer hopes that the police car with red and blue lights doesn't follow him

And I'll be alright
The singer believes that he will be okay

Though you got so damn much on the line
Although you have a lot to worry about

You're that tough-minded Texas kind
You are the resilient Texan-type person

Yeah the one I’ve been trying to find
You are the person the singer has been searching for

And I'd cross state lines tonight
The singer is willing to go out of state to see you

If I knew I was on your mind
If you were thinking about him, the singer would be willing to visit you

Girl it just don't seem right
The singer feels it’s not right that you are sleeping alone tonight

For you to be sleeping alone tonight
It’s sad and unfortunate that you are sleeping alone tonight

Guess I’ll just drive
The singer decides to take a peaceful drive to clear his head

Drive
End of the song and the singer’s drive
