The Drives (Malaysia) Formerly known as Bandwagon in 2003, The Drives was formed by Rizal (ex-Radish Fan-1995) and Ricky (ex-nicestupidplayground-1993) before recruiting Bobby (ex-Groover's Lum-1994) and Nellfie (ex-Radish Fan-1995). Their first demo was recorded in 2004 but didn't make it into the market due to an unforseen reason. Later in 2005, Nellfie left the band to join nicestupidplayground and his departure changed the whole band in terms of musical influences and directions.

The Drives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm just trying to get like all the others
But I know what to do so I'mma push on through
Well I'mma slow down on all the medication
And I find me some time for vacation
But I know it ain't due so
I'mma back to you like I always do
Selfish goals
Doin' ninety going like no other
Got a lead foot in my boot
I'm on a one-way road headed straight for you
Well I can go around all across the nation
And I don't know what I'm really chasing
Well nothing else will ever do
I'm on a one-way road and I'm headed straight back to you
So I'mma think of all the temptation
And I don't wanna to go
But I am late so I head out the door for a day or two
But you remind me of all of the good times
That we have I want to rewind
Back to a place with just me and you
Nothing else will do
But selfish goals
Well you can find me rollin with the truckers
Doin' ninety going like no other
Got a lead foot in my boot
I'm on a one-way road headed straight for you
Well I can go around all across the nation
And I don't know what I'm really chasing
Well nothing else will ever do
I'm on a one-way road and I'm headed straight back to you
I'm just trying to get by anyway a man can
Not always on the up but I still enjoy the ride man
It ain't about the gold it's about what you put in
I had it all
I lost it all
And now I'm back again
Well you can find me rollin with the truckers
Doin' ninety going like no other
Got a lead foot in my boot
I'm on a one-way road headed straight for you
Well you can find me rollin with the truckers
Doin' ninety going like no other
Got a lead foot in my boot
I'm on a one-way road and I'm headed straight back to you
I'm on a one-way road and I'm headed straight back to you
The Drive's song "On The Road" depicts the journey of a man, who is trying to make his way in life, just like everyone else. He has recognized his selfish goals and is intent on achieving them, even if it means being on medication or taking time off work. He acknowledges his tendency to chase after temptations, but despite them, he knows that nothing else will do for him except to be with the one he loves. He sings, "I'm on a one-way road headed straight back to you."
The song conveys a sense of determination and resilience, despite the ups and downs of life. The singer speaks of losing everything he had, only to get it all back again. He realizes that it's not about material possessions or riches, but rather about what one puts into life. And from everything that he's been through, he still manages to enjoy the ride, even when things get tough.
