The beat of the song is based on an instrument called Cristal Baschet. It was famously used by Hans Zimmer to produce the music for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar
[Verse 1]
Take me to the bridge under the pines
Between the billboards and the power lines
In the late night fog, your silence feels so wrong
Your affection is gone, I know the deal
[Pre-Chorus]
So drive away and let it die
So drive away and let it die
[Chorus]
The Highway 27 lights are drifting in my eyes
There is no shelter in your arms
The Highway 27 lights are drifting in my eyes
Now drive away and let it die
[Verse 2]
The rain on thе sunroof of the GMC
And the waving dance of a Mai Tai Magic Tree
Thе shoulder blades locked to the leather seat
I'm lost and confused, this love is a counterfeit
[Pre-Chorus]
So drive away and let it die
So drive away and let it die
[Chorus]
The Highway 27 lights are drifting in my eyes
There is no shelter in your arms
The Highway 27 lights are drifting in my eyes
Just drive away and let it die
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
The Highway 27 lights are drifting in my eyes
There is no shelter in your arms
The Highway 27 lights are drifting in my eyes
Just drive away and let it die
