Straight ahead, right down the highway
Out across New Mexico
Passing trucks with Haggard singing on the radio
There's a shootin' star falling behind me
But wishin' won't make a dream come true
Right now there's only one thing that I gotta do
I gotta drive, keep on rolling
I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright
One more stop, fill her up
A cup of coffee and a piece of pie
A dollar tip and I'm back out under that western sky
Got the pedal down as far as it's going
I ain't worryin' about my speed
'Cause I just don't know how long she'll wait for me
Oh, I gotta drive, keep on rolling
I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright
[Instrumental]
There's a shootin' star falling behind me
But wishin' won't bring me home to you
Right now there's only one thing that I gotta do
Oh, I gotta drive, keep on rolling
I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing
In her arms, I'm gonna be alright
Drive
I gotta drive
Oh, I gotta drive
I gotta drive
