Baby, I've been thinking
It's too hard to speak these nights
Can I confess what's on my chest
What's really on my mind
See, I never was scared of nothing
There was nothing that we couldn't do
We used to think that
We could walk on water
Just because we wanted to
And it all seemed so easy
When we were living not just alive
We talked about dreams
And how we would like to spend our lives

When freedom was a tank of gas
On a long summer night
To drive, just drive

Can you keep a secret baby?
If you can't, just lie
Yeah, I want to scream
When I have this dream
That my whole life passed me by
And they sold my heart for diamonds
And they sold some pride for gold
There's lots of things that I can't get back
That the record company owns
When 17 has turned 30
Its all gone kiss it goodbye
Hey, baby, maybe we aint kids no more
But I'm too young to die

There's still some freedom in this tank of gas
If youre by my side
We'll drive, just drive

Don't want no airplanes, no ticket on a fast train
All I wanted was a two-lane
With you by my side
We'll drive, all night long, get on board
We'll drive, with the radio on

You can lean your head on my shoulder
And just for a while
Forget about the world, baby, mile after mile
We'll drive, all night long yeah, you want a ride?

No airplane, no ticket on a fast train
All I wanted was a two-lane
And you by my side
We'll drive, all night long, get on board
We'll drive, with the radio on baby all right
