The rain ricochets off the windshield
And he idles by the curb
Under his breath in a whisper
He repeats a single dirty word
He has to do a friend a favor
He made a promise he can't keep
A cigarette burns between his fingers
Just in case he falls asleep

He says: "'l'll take care of everything,"
"But I can't ask you to marry me
If I can't afford the ring."

The road ahead, is red and white
Strung out forever like Christmas lights
I should change my ways
Cause I know it ain't right
I should turn around but I drivе all night

The interstate bеcame a canvas
It turned him into someone else
He argued with his own existence
But he can't convince himself
He won't take no for an answer
But it's the only one he will get
He wants to leave the past behind him
But it ain't done with him yet
He says: "'l'll take care of everything,"
"But I can't ask you to marry me
If I can't afford the ring."

The road ahead, is red and white
Strung out forever like Christmas lights
I should change my ways
Cause I know it ain't right
I should turn around but I drive all night

There is no one without the other
You can run forever
But the past is never far behind
Standing in between two mirrors
I crossed my heart, I crossed my fingers
I crossed the line

The road ahead, is red and white
Strung out forever like Christmas lights
I should change my ways
Cause I know it ain't right
I should turn around but I drive all night

Yeah, I drive all night
