The Nick Hexum Quintet - A Song for Driving lyrics

I drive alone in the city When everyone else is asleep I won't get stuck at a red light all night 'Cuz there's nobody here but me The wheels are screaming I leave it all behind But it always catches up with me, it seems Feel the metal touch the pedal But no matter where I go I can't shake but feeling alone (Chorus): I can count by the hours The signs going by What I find flying blind, I don't know I can count on the music That plays in my head And there's always more road to go I notice a pair of headlights It's like two eyes are following me They've been keeping up with me for miles while I See if the can hang with my speed The wheels are screaming Is it all in my mind But if I think it then it's real to me, it seems The faster I go, the faster they go What are they running from? Maybe they can't shake but feeling alone (Chorus) The cry of the tires, nothing to quench my desire I drove from Capistrano to the Inland Empire Now I'm headed to the shore which I usually adore But some reason tonight, no matter what, I want more I'm looking out for trouble or whatever But think of me giving a damn, how 'bout never Five lanes are mine, usually the left three I don't slow down, I just slide in between I scan the lane for a black and whites hid I don't get pulled over 'cuz I'm straight lucid I'm running on fumes in my mind, like the gas I imagine the lives of the people I pa** (Chorus)
