Stro Elliot - The Drive lyrics

(Verse 1) The early morning got me yawning I can hardly sleep Squeezing my life into the back of my jeep My sigh of relief competes with sighs of grief Hugging my moms, telling her that I'ma keep her number in reach I'm heading, westbound, outta town on a raggedy road Four hundred miles until I feel half-grown The life that I've know, becoming the past Foot on the gas, wind in my hair The wheel guided by god's hands I feel emotional leaving for a season told my lady goodbye I'll write you letters hope you send a reply We'll meet again at the end of July I don't know why but somehow I feel by then I'll be a different guy The winds are showin' my future in clear view All of my doubts I steer through My adolescence in rear view Now it's quarter past yesterday Feeling not so long ago, but yet so far away, yo (Chorus) Get in your car and drive You never know what you just might find On this road of life Are you living Or just along for the ride (Verse 2) I step foot into the car, release the brake pedal Key to ignition, thinking of drifting a little Warm feeling comes over as the engine turns over More for rush of excitement Thinking about my little man and plans for the evening I see god and his smile gives me more of a reason to keep breathing And keep reading To teach ceilings that life, meaning is more than Spongebob Give a break to his ma The highlight of my week Seeing the world as a child of Earth Spins a little different, it's raw and unsifted Every minute is prolific only once in my time So where my father dropped the ball I gotta catch it So he can have someone to play catch with Supporting a child means aborting my selfishness Reorder my time to do more for this kid Even though he's not mine Try to be a guiding light so we can make this ride, yo (Chorus x2) Get in your car and drive You never know what you just might find On this road of life Are you living Or just along for the ride (Verse 3) She got the windows down, the sound escapes So god I thank you for somehow she found the strength to break through Knowing it's the Going that makes you appreciate the place to which it takes you And it's taking her to two in the morning so we can eat right Children sleeping through but she's yawning under the streetlight She says sleep tight She speaks right to the heart of me I know she's working hard for me as we escape from poverty The certainty and lottery Neither were her wages as she struggle to survive another fifteen hour day When the money is the trouble, doubles turn into triple shifts Funny how it humbles you to understand the simple gifts And by this I'm reminded The power of love, the only reason why she's driving And though I'm miles away, just trying to rock a microphone I know my mom's thinking of me on the ride home, yeah (Chorus X 2) Get in your car and drive You never know what you just might find On this road of life Are you living Or just along for the ride
