Sister Christian
Quietdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one
To say okay
Where you going
What you looking for
You know those boys
Don't want to play no more with you
You're motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight
Babe, you know
You're growing up so fast
And mama's worrying
That you won't last
To say let's play
Sister Christian
There's so much in life
Don't you give it up
Before your time is due
It's true
It's true yeah
Motoring
What's your price for flight
You've got him in your sight
And driving through the night
Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight
Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight
Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight
Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one
To say okay
But you're motoring
Yeah motoring
The song "Sister Christian" by Quietdrive is a cover song of Night Rider. "Sister Christian" is a song that reflects on the transition from adolescence to adulthood as well as the fear that comes with growing up. The lyrics open by telling Sister Christian that the time has come and that she's the only one to say okay. It goes on to ask her where she is going and what she is looking for. The song suggests that the boys that she used to play with are not interested in her anymore, and that she needs to move on. It encourages Sister Christian to keep searching for that special someone, even if it means leaving her old life behind. At the same time, the song asks her to remember not to give up on life before her time is due, because there is still so much for her to experience.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase "Motoring, what's your price for flight, in finding Mister Right, you'll be all right tonight." This is a metaphor for the journey that Sister Christian is taking, as she searches for love and fulfillment. The song ends the same way it began: with Sister Christian knowing that she's the only one who can give herself permission to move on.
Overall, the song "Sister Christian" is a powerful message about growing up and embracing life's adventures. It encourages listeners to take risks, to stay committed to the journey of self-discovery, and to be true to themselves no matter where life takes them.

Uncle Onion
Quietdrive is the voice to my soul.
Eternity's End
I admit, I was really put off at first! But it definitely grew on me. It's not bad. It's just different. Not at all what you'd expect.
LArry SS
Gosh i love weird versions of songs!
Monica Jones
I bet these guys are entertaining to watch live.
OmalleyDoc
I prefer the original by a longshot, but I can appreciate that they didn't just copy paste the sound.
Michael Woods
they ska'd it WTF! why god! I actually dig this band but damn they have a little too much fun with these songs. Still think Time After Time is a masterpiece.
Nathan Zimmerman
At least its a cover with their own twist instead of doing the song exactly the same way as Night Ranger plays it and calling it a cover.
Lanedude
Wow. This just robs the soul of the original.
